Oh, fun mojibake.

You clipped the 't' off of trn.

trn 4.0-test77 has got some serious Unicode problems. I'm using the
fork here:

https://github.com/acli/trn

Which is 800% better than trn4 test77 with my one line "don't mangle
Unicode" patch:

https://sourceforge.net/p/trn/patches/6/

But trn4 has divorced reading from posting, and by virtue of not having
a built in editor (using $EDITOR or $VISUAL like a good Unix program),
it has a very hard time enforcing appropriate headers on outgoing
posts. I believe the acli native Pnews does it one way, and my own
Pnews does it another way.[*] 

But it does boil down to: trn is very permissive about posting and has
poor defaults for headers, and no enforcement of sending bad headers
or omitting headers not absolutely required by NNTP.

My main reason for chiming in here is to strongly encourage anyone still
using trn to switch to the acli fork. Life is much better.

[*] The acli Pnews checks $LC_CTYPE and then sets charset based on
    that all the time. For me, this breaks when I'm replying to a
    ISO-8869-1 post with highbit characters, because vim will 
    do a good job of guessing charset, converting to UTF-8 to
    edit, then converting back to ISO-8869-1 on save. Presto,
    header lies.

    My Pnews never adds MIME headers, but checks for a charset in
    the headers and flags it as an error if the charset does not
    match or, when missing and is needed.

    I should clean up and release the code to my Pnews someday.
