Subject: Any way to get just-send-8-bit with Pine?

University of Helsinki has gone totally 8bit in e-mail and
news, using ISO Latin1 as the default character set. Now, the 
only problem is Pine, who wants to code everything written
in Finnish with QUOTED-PRINTABLE.

Almost all our mail agents are MIME-capable, so it is not
all that big of a problem, but we'd like to turn that feature
off nonetheless. For example, people can't use normal tools
to access their sent-folders and now with Pine 3.90, all news
written with Pine to Finnish newsgroups are QP'ed. Which is
not a good thing since news readers are not that far advanced
with MIME-support.

So, is there a simple way to switch QP off and get standard
	Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 
messages? Or do I have to hack into the code to get this?

P.S. For e-mail going out of University of Helsinki, we have
     a swedish program called Emil linked with sendmail to
     get the QP-encoding for non-8BITMIME hosts.

No and yes... We have almost the same problem, and I am
working on a patch for it.

Pine does not yet support 8BITMIME (as opposed to just-send-8-bit, which Pine
will never support :)
