OK, but this patch does not enable full utf-8 support (it merely causes
slrn not to be broken in most popular configurations). Full utf-8
support (and MIME support) is something that mutt has. From the
newsreaders, both tin and slrn to this moment do not have really decent
handling of multiple encodings.

The patch in slrn at this moment does not allow for setting your
preferred output encoding and does not allow for setting the default
encoding that should be applied to 8-bit headers wthout charset
declaration.

In terms of user's experience (and in regard to at least the pl.*
hierarchy) it's a regression -- slrn in this form is mostly unusable
for Polish users. In other words, damned if you do, damned if you
don't.

I'm not blaming you, I was just venting off a little frustration (you
see, I don't want you to reverse the patch, I merely have noted that
current implementation is incomplete; marking this as wishlist and
wontfix without even making a simplest inquiry *did* anger me a bit).
