shownonascii(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   shownonascii(1)

NAME

       shownonascii - View all or part of a mail message in a non-ASCII font

SYNOPSIS

       shownonascii  charset-font-name [-e command-to-execute] file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The  shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII character sets to be viewed under X11.    By default, it will open up an xterm using the
       font named in the first argument, running the "more" command to view all of the files named on the command line.

       If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line will be taken as the command to tell xterm to run instead of more.

       If the MM_CHARSET environment variable is set and matches the character set named in the first argument, a new xterm  window  will  not	be
       opened.

       If  the	MM_AUXCHARSETS	environment  variable is set the character set named in the first argument is a subset of that string, a new xterm
       window will not be opened.
