Well, Thomas has put some effort into supporting slang2 in slrn, thus
enabling slrn to use UTF-8 to display Unicode characters.  There is a
screenshot showing this: <http://slrn.sourceforge.net/images/slrn-utf8.png>.

However, some time ago, Thomas also wrote that he currently hasn't got
much (or any) time to work on development of slrn.  So I'm not sure
when we will see a new version of slrn that has got real UTF-8 support.
