   Okay, maybe it will be improved after someone adding Unicode support.   
      
   I also tried MultiMail in Linux, with luit's help it can show UTF-8.   
      
   Run this command with LC_ALL/LANG set to en_US.UTF-8:   
   $ luit -encoding UTF-8 mm   
      
   Although UTF-8 charmap was selected, MultiMail currently still garbled some   
   UTF-8 characters. Adding additional layer of UTF-8 to UTF-8 conversion by luit   
   seems to be a workable solution.   
      
   To show CP437 ASCII art, luit's CP437 to UTF-8 conversion looks good:   
   $ luit -encoding CP437 mm
