User-Agent:

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

Alpine uses UTF8 but in order to work, certain conditions must be met: * the locale must be UTF8 * the terminal must be able to display utf8 as you can see, your locale and your terminal are not utf8 capable, hence you get bad results. This is expected. If your locale and terminal are utf8 and you are having problems, then that is something that needs to be fixed. -- Eduardo http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/alpine/ -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
