tlug: re: pine mojibake

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

Jonathan, 

I experienced the same thing with TLC. 
If you only need to use Japanese and 
English, I suggest you go with a Japanized 
Pine (this doesn't do well with Chinese 
so it's not an option for me). If I recall, 
it could handle sjis. 
I get around the SJIS mojibake problem 
in ordinary pine by reading those particular messages 
in yudit (reply to the message and choose 
yudit as the editor). you can then quote the message, 
write a reply and, if needed, change 
the encoding on the fly from the menu, 
(to JIS or EUC, for example) and send it
back to where it came from and/or save 
it in that format where you can read 
it easily with jvim, jless, etc. 

It's a little mendokusai but perhaps 
the best option if you system can't 
read sjis.
