Is this a copy that you compiled yourself, the one from my web site,
or a different compilation?

I'll try to check this on my copy. I don't know that I've ever tried
to mail a file from the print menu. Which "sendmail" are you using? Is
this Alfredo Cole's "sendmail.exe" with the "sendmail.bat" file that I
wrote, or are you using tcpport.exe with mailout.exe?

This sounds strange. The DOS port only started doing news recently.
Perhaps something needs to be tweaked. How do you know that it isn't
translating the character sets? Did you try setting your display
character set to something else (say ISO-8859-1)? Are the displays
identical for characters which should be different?
