Hello Rich I was out of town for a while and missed this thread. I've poked around and discovered that in Slackware 14.2 we have alpine 2.20. There seems to be a problem with alpine not properly supporting UTF-8 and so defaults to US-ASCII. Unfortunately, when you then try to sent line drawing characters, alpine "guesses" and picks a cyrillic char set. I used the CLI mailx and "tree -d" was sent correctly as UTF-8. After much pain relearning mutt, mutt does send "tree -d" correctly even if the vi editor shows it as garbled. You may have to use Thunderbird or similar as a work around. Also, you can try sending as an attachment (with different extensions). -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
