User-Agent:       

Alpine does not correctly encode non-utf-8-data from locale's time and date
formatting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open console/xterm with 8-Bit character encoding (i.e. ISO-8859-1)
2. start alpine with LANG=de_DE@euro
3. have an e-mail in your inbox with a date of March.
Actual Results:  
The Date displayed is "M"

Expected Results:  
"Mär"

strftime may return non-utf8 data if operated in a non-utf8 environment. In The
non-WINDOWS-case no change of encoding to utf8 is performed in our_strftime
(pith/string.c) but utf8 is expected from functions calling our_strftime.
