I don't know about slrn, as I don't use it (Emacs & Gnus is my news reader of choise). I can assure you that Mutt handles charsets fine though. My locale environment settings are: % env | egrep 'LANG|LC_' | sort LANG=C LC_COLLATE=el_GR.ISO8859-7 LC_CTYPE=el_GR.ISO8859-7 % My .muttrc file includes: % grep charset .muttrc # my terminal can show all characters of this charset set charset="greek" # what different charsets I will use when sending set send_charset="US-ASCII:ISO-8859-1:ISO-8859-7:UTF-8" % That's all that is necessary to read email messages in Greek and post in US-ASCII or Greek (when 8-bit characters appear in the message). - Giorgos
