With such a message (with a wrong declaration of the encoding), it well might be the case that it passed through several incorrect recoding stages while it was being sent and delivered; thus it's not possible to correctly render it and read it if one uses the common type of the interface for choosing the encoding (such as the menu in [[Mozilla Firefox]]). An example of such a complex case of a wrongly declared encoding: a message was entered through a webform in the [[windows-1251]] encoding, but the web interface incorrectly assumed that it was in [[latin-1]]; based on this assumption, it performed the recoding from latin-1 to [[utf-8]]. The result of this operation cannot be correctly decoded through the common encoding-selection interface; it can only be decoded through a two-stage recoding: first from utf-8 to latin-1, then from windows-1251 to utf-8 (assuming that one works in a Unicode environment). After it is decoded, it is desirable to store it in the recoded form instead of the original, in order to be able to read it easily afterwards, and to quote it for replies.</ref> <ref name=PINE_spell>Pine supports full integration with [[GNU Aspell]] or other external speller, which is its requirement for spell checking.</ref> <ref name=PINE_recode>The recoding engine and interface extensions that would solve the described recoding problems have been developed as a patch for Pine; it is to be found in the package [http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Branch3/pine/get pine-4.58L-alt4.src.rpm] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827084354/http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Branch3/pine/get |date=2011-08-27 }}([http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/3.0/files/SRPMS/pine-4.58L-alt4.src.rpm ftp]) for [[ALTLinux]] (under the name <code>[http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Branch3/pine/patches/1 pine-4.58L-alt2-0.4.1.diff]</code>).
