I'm new to the group so this may be an age old question.
Can elm handle 8 bit characters.  Or is it too generic to
try?  From time to time I send mail with letters such as the
Spanish ene (n with a ~ over it) and elm substitues the letter
'q'.  The octal value of ene is 361 and of 'q' is 161.
Is there a way to make elm send all 8 bits to the terminal?  I
would olny be sending such mail to machines that have the same
extended ascii character mappings as mine.

Thanks ... Shelley R. Heard
