Addresses are 7bit, ie there are no umlauts allowed.
Whoever uses such an address deserves no reply.  ;-)

Any ideas?  I found the 'config' section of pine, and switched the 
character set to iso-8859-1.  Now I can type an umlaut (ü) in the body of 
the text.  This is very cool.  But the email address I am trying to reach 
has an umlaut in the address ITSELF.  Whenever I type the umlauted u in 
the address, i get a bar (|) character instead.  

Any ideas?  I am having this problem with two different Internet Service 
Providers.  Haven't tried compuserve yet...

TIA,
