I set up my system to be able to display iso-8859-1 to iso-8859-10,
including cyrillic, greek, arabic and so on by calling a batch file
through the shell ("!"), but unfortunately it does not handle quoted-
printable, only 8bit-coded. Mail me for more if interested.

For being able to display even quoted-printable, I'd wish Yarn could
translate them to 8bit-characters, even if charset is not "ISO-8859-1",
Another wish is, to be able to assign two programs to certain charset-
headers which will be called before resp. after a message with this
charset will be displayed.
