Well, I tried changing the Custom Headers on my Pine 3.91 direct from
UW's archive, and the result was that both the Pine-generated
"US-ASCII" content-type header and the Custom "ISO-2022-JP"
content-type header were included.  I couldn't find anything in the .
pinerc file that looked like it could override the program-generated
header, nor did there seem to be any internationalization features.
If you have a Japanese version or a more recent version, I wouldn't
know about its features.  Not being a Pine user, I checked what little
I know about it in the Help and found nothing useful.

What version of Pine do you use?  Where did you get it?  What exactly
did you change in the configuration?  I do have users who use Pine
regularly (in particular my nihonjin wife).

BTW all the text seemed to be in New-JIS.

This is exactly what you want; I checked the local docs quickly and
looked through what customizations I could find.  I may have missed
something pertaining to the content-type recognition.

教えてお願い致します。
