So much Windows Mailer crap on this list...

[Thomas Stivers]

As I have to use windows for access to most of the important things on my
school's web site and I don't like rebooting 3 times a day I am stuck using
windows for most tasks, however I too am really annoyed by the charset stuff
in pine. I was wondering if one could use procmail to have it simply change
the charset message in the header before pine ever sees the mail? I don't
really know very much about procmail so this idea may be off base, but
something that says
if charset is not iso8859-1
charset = iso8859-1
Sorry for my choice of e-mail programs, but one must do as the institution
demands. *smile*

Ps. Even mor annoying imho than the malformed html messages are the rants
that start up on this topic on blindness related e-mail lists about once a
week.
