Yes, I have. This morning :-)
I guess the problem (or advantage) is that DOS does not have any printer
drivers. At least on my HP DeskJet 690C I have the opportunity to tell the
printer which character set to use. In general, DOS use CP-437 (or 850) in
Sweden, while e-mail usually is written using ISO-8859-1. This effectively
means, that when I want to print out a mail in Swedish from Arachne, I have
to change the character set using a small utility that came with the
printer. And, to ensure I get the proper characters from DOS, I have to
switch back afterwards.
