This mean that utf8 character are visually correct, but the centericq code does not treat them as multi-byte characters, so the display messes up. for example when you insert an accented character, the cursors stays one position forward.
Yes, I know that :) I've been reading this ML for quite a long time ;)
But I meant some other issues. E.g. I am using centericq on a server
within screen. I have to open a ssh session to a "middle" server, to be
able to connect to my centericq-server. <my computer> -> <host1> ->
<centericq-server> -> <screen> -> <centericq>. All encodings in between
are set to UTF-8 (including my pc) but centericq doesn't work. If I
switch one (and ONLY one) of the encodings either on host1 or
centericq-server to ISO-8859-15 and still using centericq-utf8 from
Debian, it is working... Very strange to me.
If there is no second ssh session (directly connect from my computer to
centericq-server) everything is fine.

That would be nice, although I think it isn't that complicated... :)

I'll try ;)

If you could do that, it'll be great and I would love to test it :)
