As I have to use windows for access to most of the important things on my school's web site and I don't like rebooting 3 times a day I am stuck using windows for most tasks, however I too am really annoyed by the charset stuff in pine. I was wondering if one could use procmail to have it simply change the charset message in the header before pine ever sees the mail? I don't really know very much about procmail so this idea may be off base, but something that says if charset is not iso8859-1 charset = iso8859-1 Sorry for my choice of e-mail programs, but one must do as the institution demands. *smile* Ps. Even mor annoying imho than the malformed html messages are the rants that start up on this topic on blindness related e-mail lists about once a week.
