Here are the consolidated responses to the original question from Paul
Mayer (pam@coco.ihi.ku.dk):

     I'm interested in information on 8bit text editors and mail programs
     for UNIX.  This would included C headers and functions, as well as
     the compilable code.

Emacs 19 is fully 8-bit supportive, i.e. I can type <Compose>a' and
get an accented "a" on the screen (under X Windows of course :-). For
mail, I suggest you look at MH, using MIME formats.

The mail programs that come with UNIX System V release 4 are completely
8-bit transparent. It doesn't matter what you pass to them, they'll deliver
it just fine.

You can try Joe's editor. This is like WordStar editor. Joe support 8-bit
characters (if You add ``-asis'' option to configuration file) and have
many other pretty functions (blocks, multiple windows, etc.).
We run it under RISC/os 4.52 (BSD) and ISC 3.2 v2 (SVR3).
Joe is free sw (like GNU) and is available on ``world.std.com:/src/editors''.

I wrote a editor named "jed", which has been localized to Czech.

     jed

     English: Jeff's editor
     Czech:   poison

jed is based on the ME editor written by Craig Durland at
Hewlett-Packard.  Using ME's extension language, I wrote a shell around
ME that provides WordStar and T602 (the most popular Czech text editor)
functionality.  Although the extension language did not make creation of
a message catalog file easy, you can still readily localize jed.

jed has been tested under HP-UX, Ultrix 4.2, SCO Unix, and Interactive
Unix.  With minimal effort, it can run under DOS as well.

jed depends upon the PC Latin 2 character set for its Czech localization.
