Hello!

I have to use version of slrn that does not support 'charset' setting.
The version is not new, so it does not support
set_utf8_conversion_table function. As result, when I try to read news
in Russian, I get garbage on the screen. As far as I can see, slrn
simply treats KOI8-R text as Latin1 and converts it to UTF-8.

In the article view I was able to correct things. My macro gets the
raw text of the article, then converts KOI8-R to UTF-8 and then
replaces article. Works perfectly.

Now I would like to fix subject lines displayed in the "threads" view.
I didn't find any functions that could be used for fixing encodings in
the Subject of the article. Did I miss them, or they really don't
exist?

Best regards
Andrei Voropaev
