With both CIDIF (Edmundston, NB) and Club-Libertel (Montreal, QC) planning
to install French CSuite in the coming days/weeks, I am wondering if closer
attention should be given to the fact that Pico do not allow the typing of
diacritics on dev and csuite, while it does it perfectly on CCN.

I tested with Ewan, TeraTerm and QvtTerm and got the same result, while on
CCN, the three abovementioned programs allow the accents when in Pine
message composer. I infer from this that the problem might be on the server
end, not the terminal. If CIDIF and Club-Libertel are to face the same
problem, I think we should be able to offer help to them.  

P.S. The accents are not replaced by strange symbols, but by other characters.
E.g. e acute (é) becomes "i": René (Rene') becomes Reni...
