Hi,

Someone knows how it's possible to see correctly the special characters?

Examples:

English: a e i o u
Spanish: á é í ó ú

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean..? I see all of those characters just fine.

Hmmm this is very interesting, because I can't see them correctly.

How it's possible? I'm using Mystic BBS in RaspBerry Pi and MultiMail (mailer offline).

This is my locale configuration:

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

OK now here is something weird... I did not see them fine in the original
post but, when you quoted them back, I sure did! :O

That is because the original posted by efraim is missing a CHAR KLUDGE for the message. When that happens, our message readers assume a default
charset for a local display.

The original post did not look right on my system either.

But your reply introduced a suitable charset kludge, and thus... this one looks ok for me now.

PS.. Many of the messages here seem to be omitting a charset kludge.

I wonder what BBS sofwares efriam and Nightfox are using?

It depends on both what you are using to post those messages and what you are using to read them.

I think I am seeing the above correctly here.
