PC-Pine allows the alternate character set to be entered directly (make
sure you use a leading zero). Unix Pine will allow it if you use the
alternate editor functionality (cntrl-_) and bring up vi or some other 8
bit clean editor. The unix pico editor in Pine refuses to allow 8 bit
characters :^( - at least mine doesn't ....

Mark C., using Pine 4.3 right now ...

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to
produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
