[COLUG] UTF-8 Goobers-up Screen

Howdy All,

I'm using a remote Screen session from Putty on a Windows box.  I use it 
to read mail in Pine, as well as browse the web in eLinks.

Whenever I encounter UTF-8 characters (with accent marks), the Screen gets 
goobered up and, for example, scrolls up by a few lines.  (This is fun in 
Pine, as I won't know which message I'm looking at or deleting.)

Without using Screen, everything works OK.  Since I thought it might be a 
terminal setting, I checked; when I just use pine, TERM is set to XTerm. 
So, I ran screen and set the terminal type to XTerm, and get the same 
results.

Any ideas?

Later,
-J
