[Alpine-info] quotation marks appear as gibberish

[Leif Neve]

These issues turned out to be a SecureCRT problem. Version 6.2 has a 
"character encoding" configuration setting, but it had just two choices 
('none' and 'vt100'), neither of which had any effect. I upgraded to 
version 6.5 and voila, there were now many choices. I selected "UTF8" as 
my character encoding and now everything works great! Thanks. -Leif
