erinja:Unicode was invented on UNIX. It's your TELNET client that can't handle Unicode.
It's the flip side of the Unix geeks in the Esperanto community. I used to telnet into my university Unix server to read my mail using Pine. A faster interface than webmail, less baggage than something like Outlook, nearly 100% resistance to e-mail-borne viruses. Only it didn't support Unicode, so I regularly received e-mails from fancy-pants Unicode users, filled with weird codes and symbols for letters my ssh client couldn't read.
Try to use Putty on Windows. (http://www.putty.nl
I believe it's Unicode compliant.

pastorant:It's a moot point now, I no longer use any mail accounts that have that kind of access. I use Gmail at home and Outlook (blech) at work.

But I believe the encoding was somehow hard-coded into the e-mails, or the server, or Pine itself. The e-mails themselves would have a message at the top that the text had non-ascii-compliant characters, and therefore may not display correctly. Plus I was actually using Putty for a fairly long period!
