       NAME
             shownonascii - view mail message in a non-ASCII font

       SYNOPSIS
             shownonascii charset [-e command] filename ...

       DESCRIPTION
             The shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII character
             sets to be viewed under X11.  By default, it opens up an xterm
             using the font identified by charset in the first argument.
             It then runs the more command to view all of the files named
             on the command line using the specified font.

             If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line is
             accepted as a command to pass to xterm to be used instead of
             more.

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

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