Hello

I am having trouble with using swedish characters (åäö) in the header
when using pine, even if it works in the message text. I wonder if there
is a way to get this to work?

I have a work around:

Go into the message body and enter the subject line.
Cut it with ^K and paste it into the subject line with ^U

You don't get =E5=E4=F6 in the subject line. You get the 8-bit characters.
So the receiver can't read it if he has a different character set.

    Okay, so my newsreader doesn't recognize MIME.  But that's better in
my opinion than reading the news locally which is delayed by five days...

    Anyway, to answer your question, yes, Pine3.92 will work properly
(or maybe even perfectly ;-) for non-ASCII headers.  Hold your breath,
because it will be coming pretty soon -- can't say for sure when, but
trust me, it will be soon, if not soon enough...
