Yes, but if somebody sends me a message with an e grave, I could overlook the single character when quoting it, and pine will send the message as quoted printable. QP is ugly for a reader which is not MIME compliant. Is there a way to convert the incoming messages into 7 bit characters? PS: it is a pity that only the DOS version of pine supports colors.
