The mail I sent yesterday was incorrect about the whole screen flashing; it turns out that with all the trial and error I changed the terminal somehow. If I put "termcapinfo putty* vb@" in ~/.screenrc, then I get the status line message.
The problem with not being able to get a utf-8 message remains, however. Specifically, if I put 'vbell_msg " ワン！ ワン！"' in ~/.screenrc, I get " ã�¯ã�³ï¼� ã�¯ã�³ï¼�" as the message. It doesn't matter if I have "encoding UTF-8" or not.
