Subject: UTF in Pine

Just had some spam, or industry spam, or something in HTML. Pine 4.30
handles the HTML OK, but they had used some Unicode quotation marks like
&#8217; These seem to be rendered OK in Netscape & Lynx but not Pine.
(They'd used <meta content="text/html;charset=iso8859-1"> and it was
basically an ASCII document, but generated in Word or something. Not sure
why one would want to use this instead of just "'" anyway. I guess Unicode
in general is useful so one can put Greek and Japanese on the same page if
one needs to, and that seems to be the way the world is going, but it's
showing up on a lot of Unix systems as "?".
