You do? I though LISTSERV was strictly 7-bit. Maybe you have a mail
agent that encodes and decodes 8-bit characters?

That's for file transfer, not terminal emulation. Please read the manual
(info below).

In MS-DOS Kermit (3.00 or later):
SET PARITY NONE
SET TERMINAL BYTESIZE 8
SET TERMINAL CHARACTER-SET NONE
In EMACS 19.xx (not 18.xx or earlier):
(require 'disp-table)
(standard-display-8bit 160 255)
(load "iso-syntax")
(load "iso-insert")
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode))
0)
This assumes that the message really contains Latin-1 characters.
