slrn detects it from the locale if your system provides the
nl_langinfo() function.

You can check this in the config.h file, it only works if it
contains the lines:

#define HAVE_LOCALE_H 1
#define HAVE_LANGINFO_H 1

Seems it does not work. You  should try to add

#v+
charset display utf-8
charset outgoing iso-8859-15,utf-8
#v-

in your .slrnrc
