Is it possible to set up pine in such a way that it will display the 
french characters?

Pine should be able to do that "out of the box", except for a warning
message which you get rid of by going to Setup Config and adding

character-set            = ISO-8859-1

So if you have problems with displaying, it is probably somewhere else.

First of all you must have your terminal set up to use the
ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 character set. Then (this is for Unix only, I don't
know otherwise) put the following in your .cshrc or .bashrc, or a modified
version if you don't use either of those shells:

.cshrc (for csh and tcsh, in the last case the file may be .tcshrc)
------
tty -s
if (! $status) then
        stty cs8 -istrip -parenb 
endif

.bashrc: (or .profile if you are using sh)
--------
if tty -s; then
        stty cs8 -istrip -parenb >&0
fi

If you still have problems, check out the ISO-8859-1 FAQ, posted
to news.answers and assorted soc.culture groups, soc.culture.french
probably included.
