Yes, but if somebody sends me a message with an e grave, I could overlook
the single character when quoting it, and pine will send the message as
quoted printable. QP is ugly for a reader which is not MIME compliant.
Is there a way to convert the incoming messages into 7 bit characters?
PS: it is a pity that only the DOS version of pine supports colors.
