Is there a way to setup PINE so that you can use foreign alphabets and
symbols from within PINE or to use non-english keyboards?

The first big question is whether you're using PC-Pine or UNIX Pine. If UNIX
Pine, what are you using for a terminal? In either case, Pine is fairly
limited, although more so in the case of UNIX Pine. The apparent design
assumption is that a particular user of Pine will work in only one character
set. This is set up in the configuration area. This may address your needs.

If you receive a message on a 'charset' other than what you're set for, Pine
will notify you when you read it, but UNIX Pine at least has no capability for
translating it. You CAN however, set up an external 'viewer' for messages in
different charsets, using a ".mailcap" file. What the viewer can do will of
course be limited by the capabilities of your terminal (emulator).

I am interested in corresponding (off-list) with people facing these issues,
and possible solutions involving our multi-lingual Windows telnet client.
