Davy pointed out to me that I had mis-read his question: he was
referring to news rather than email.  My apologies...

For others, the answer is that Pine 3.92 *will* (optionally) support
"just-send-8" for NNTP posting.

Great, but while I'm stuck with Pine 3.91, how to I get it to post
using 8-bit instead of QUOTED-UNREADABLE? And an option would be very nice
if you need to send letters to people that don't have MIME-support in
their mailer. I'd *very* much like to have the option of using

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT

Btw, where can I find the patches for Pine 3.91 (QUOTED-UNREADABLE -> 8BIT)?

Thanks in advance. Please e-mail answers too.
