I'm sorry about that. Yeah, I'm running slrn within an UTF-8 environment
(uxterm). І'm not sure about what kind of further information would be valuable
here so please tell me exactly what I shall provide.

As I have said I'm not sure if it's (only) caused by bad X-Face headers.

In the second example I've mentioned it actually seems to be related to the
body of the message.

Well, I send it a SIGTERM signal instead of pressing a stop button but here it
is:
