Dear Elinkers, I have been using elinks for several years for an occasional web browsing when X is not available, but over the past couple of weeks have switched to using elinks almost exclusively for all my browsing needs. As part of that, I am trying to view a Big5-encoded website [1]. Try as I may, however, I cannot get it to display anything but gibberish. Could anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, or at least unequivocally say that it's not supported and won't work?
