Subject: Pine and LDAP

Hello,

I use LDAP for address book, and it works very well.

However, LDAP uses UTF8 and I use ISO-8859-1 in my terminals, so when I
look up a person whos name contains a non-ascii character (for instance
myself) there is the problem that it will show up UTF8-encoded.

Is it possible to tell pine to convert the LDAP search result from UTF8 to
whatever is set in the locale settings?

Pine uses version 2 of the LDAP protocol which means that results from the 
server should _not_ be UTF8-encoded. Pine is, admittedly, behind the 
times, but that's the way it is. There is no short-term plan to upgrade 
the pine LDAP support so that it uses version 3 instead.
