I would like to compose in Spanish in Pine.  Does anyone have any
experience on how (if possible) to do this?  Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Bill

There's a similar thread discussing German language character in Pine.
But it won't give you the answer you want. ;-)

The same is true here.  Codesets vary from computer to computer, so even
if you compose with tildes, accents, etc... they may be unprintable at the
other end.

In brief, I capitalize letters that should have an accent or tilde, and I 
double up on opening punctuation.  ??Me hago entender? AsI nadie tendrIa
problema en este aNo o nunca.
