OT: Pine Question

[Janina Sajka]

Geoff:

I agree about the should part. Regretably, the world will never run as it
should.

Just to clarify for myself where this happens--these messages are, in
fact, generated within Pine, are they not? Do you know for sure? Else, I
would think I could do something about this with procmail where a variable
could represent the actual char set number. It's certainly not sufficient
to specify any particular set--there are too many in use to avoid using
some kind of variable expansion.
