Awaiting response from upstream
Just hit this same issue with slrn 1.0.3 on 11.0-RELEASE-p10. Setting the LC_* variables in my .bash_profile seem to have fixed the issue for me as well.
Is this still relevant?
I am sorry to report that problem still exists if LC_ALL=C & LANG is unset or is C (but not if LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 with LANG also set to the same value; no other LC* variable is set) ... slrn --version slrn 1.0.3 S-Lang Library Version: 2.3.1 Operating System: FreeBSD COMPILE TIME OPTIONS: Backends: +nntp +slrnpull +spool External programs / libs: -canlock -inews +ssl +uudeview +iconv Features: +decoding +emphasized_text +end_of_thread +fake_refs +gen_msgid -grouplens -msgid_cache +piping +rnlock +spoilers -strict_from Using 64 bit integers for article numbers.

Maintainer reset.
Does not look like any progress would happen; I will close it.
