Subject: Help on encoding

Hello,

I use PCPine to read my mail. When I receive email
sent by people using outlook as client, I have some strange
characters (mainly when using french specific like "ç" "à" ...)
is there a way for me to change encoding or any cfg parameter
within pcpine in order to properly match those symbols ?

thanks/Bertrand

Not sure what those characters look like on your end, but on this end (one
computer using Pine/MacOSX and another using Pine/Cygwin/Win2k) they both
display as apparently properly accented letters (the "goateed C" as in
iirc 'garcon' -- it's been a loooong time since I took french but I think
garcon has that accent... -- and the top, left pointing accented A). Is
this not what you've got in PC-Pine?

If you're still having problems, it's probably the terminal settings of
the DOS prompt. There may be more direct ways to fix this for you, but if
nothing else you can install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) and
then in turn use it to install its version of Pine, maybe a terminal
emulator (rxvt is kind of nice), etc.
