Package: alpine
Version: 1.0+dfsg-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

I'm using a script to send me some e-mails that are probably
sloppy in specifying the encoding of the content.  The content
is encoded in the system default encoding ISO-8859-15 as well
as the terminal which runs alpine.  Alpine says:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: ...

    [ The following text is in the "X-UNKNOWN" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "ISO-8859-15" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]
...
<Content with non-ASCII characters replaced by '?'>
-------------------------------------------------------------

IMHO it would be reasonable if alpine would use the default
character set for the display instead of replacing non-ASCII
characters by '?'.

I could foreward a mailbox file which shows the problem if
needed.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining the finally _free_
version of my favourite MUA

       Andreas.
