hej,
	Could someone tell me how I could configure lynx and/or the Pine
mailer so they will show the swedish characters proporly.  I have my
computer set to swedish and I would like to be able to see an A (and a
with two dots on it) and the rest when ppl write to me

The letters  "a" with a dot, "a" with two dots  and "o" with two dots
looks like this if I type them, first a capital and then a small one
they are in the order as above:
Åå    Ää    Öö 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^< I would like them to show up as the actual letter 
rather than (for ex) a '*' or a 'A'.

	Brian

 I've been trying out a Windows based MUA thats works just fine with Pine 
folders and IMAP daemon. It called EMBLA from ICL ProSystems AB in 
Sweden. I bet it handles Swedish characters, it even comes in two 
flavours - English and Swedish. You can get a demo version from 
http://www.pro.icl.se/

See if the following is of any help to you:

To see a list of all available language sets on gpu, type    
locale -a       at the gpu sustem prompt.  

Modify .pinerc to include the proper ISO-nnnn-n string in the 
character-set       option.

Then put the following in the bottom of your .cshrc file:

setenv LANG xx_xx

ie      setenv LANG sv_SE

Then logout and log back in. Then either find an article in the desired 
language to display, or create a piece of mail to yourself and try to 
look at it.

We've successfully used the above method here for both the French and 
Swedish language sets, so far...
