I use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(email_client)">pine</a> / <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_(email_client)">alpine</a> as a mail client since my firsts steps on the UNIX/Linux world, it always served me well.<br> Nevertheless, since a couple of weeks, I had this weird behavior where the mail content pager would not display accents (éàü&hellip;) while the mail list would! Worse, this inconsistent behavior only happened in <code>tmux</code>.<br> I suspected something involving <code>locales</code> but no, everything was fine on this side.<br> So it turns out <code>alpine</code>&rsquo;s mail content pager doesn&rsquo;t know how to cope with a value of <code>screen-256color</code> in the <code>TERM</code> variable. Changing it to <code>xterm-256color</code> fixed accents display.</p>
