Description
Please apply this patch to pine-4.64 so that it can display messages correctly in UTF-8 locales. Right now, it displays (for example) this:
The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. Your display is set for the "UTF-8" character set. Some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
and indeed, invalid UTF-8 is sent to the screen instead of such characters. Russian KOI8-R-encoded mail messages are displayed as a sequence of "invalid character" boxes because of this. The patch completely fixes the issue.
More details: http://www.suse.de/~bk/pine/FAQ.html.
This patch has no negative effects in non-UTF-8 locales, and, according to this resolution, has to be applied unconditionally (OTOH, with Nano, we already broke this resolution).
