[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, talk(1) uses the isprint() function to determine if a character is printable. If it's not, it outputs '^' followed by the character without his 8th bit. However, isprint() and friends are broken currently on FreeBSD (at least on -STABLE), so it will never recognize an accentued character as printable. The attached patch remove the isprint() test so that it's possible to write special characters. It also removes the now useless setlocale() call and headers. When locale support will be complete, I'm volunteer to re-introduce this check if someone thinks it's really worth it. Could someone review this ?
