Your email was forwarded to me asking about Hungarian email on a VT100.
Glenn and I are responsible for Sun's Hungarian localization.  I've
been told that VT100's are 7bit terminals so I don't think you can do
this on a VT100.

However VT220 is 8bit.  So hopefully you have VT220 emulation available.
But sending 8bits across the network, there's no guarantee your email
will arrive at it's destination ok.  The SNMP protocol which mailers
use is 7bit only.  You might be unlucky and go through such a mailer
that isn't 8bit clean since by definition they only need to be 7bit.

To send email reliably means you ought to uuencode the message.  But
it's probably worth trying to send email.
