Created attachment 76366 [details] pine bug
Dont know if it is a pine related bug, I got some strange behavior in my text apps , the kernel configuration menu (make menuconfig) looks terrible too and some spanish chars (a q) are missing in the character set (text mode only).
The problem here, is that PINE is not UTF-8 compatible. This is not a bug, but rather is just a feature lacking in pine and a lot of other text mode apps like mutt, screen, mc, etc. RHL 8.0 uses UTF-8 by default, and so apps that aren't UTF-8 clean will not display correctly. The solution is to change the LANG variable while running the application. For example, if you use en_US.UTF-8 by default in RHL 8.0, you would do: LANG=en_US pine It might be possible for me to write a pine wrapper script and rename the pine binary to pine-bin or something, and have it test LANG for a .UTF-8 component, and strip it off if present, then invoke pine with it's own LANG setting. I'm not sure if that would cause other problems or not though.
You can try this as root if you want: mv /usr/bin/pine /usr/bin/pine-bin cat <<-EOF > /usr/bin/pine #!/bin/bash # Remove .UTF-8 .UTF8 .utf-8 .utf8 from $LANG for pine as it # does not understand unicode currently. LANG=$(echo $LANG | sed -e 's#\.UTF.\{0,1\}8$##i') pine-bin EOF Does this work for you ok?

Deferring issue for future pine release to reinvestigate
This is indeed UTF-8 related, and not a bug. My advice about UTF-8 above should work as a workaround. Pine still does not support unicode in it's latest 4.5x releases, and it doesn't appear the pine team will be adding unicode support any time soon, so this will likely remain a misfeature of pine for quite some time. Pine has been removed from the developmental version of Red Hat Linux, and will no longer be a part of Red Hat Linux. I'm closing this bug as NOTABUG as it is really just lack of unicode, which is a missing feature rather than a bug.
