It is showing up as ? because your character set is US-ASCII (as
probably determined by your locale).  Try putting

   charset display "ISO-8859-1"

in your .slrnrc file.  The problem is that slrn has no clue what
character to map the byte 0xE9 to, since that byte lies outside the
range of the US-ASCII character set.
