Hmm. I expressed myself badly. I need to run pine (on a remote server 
which already use ISO 8859-1) in a UTF-8 terminal (konsole). So, I want 
a method to make konsole use ISO 8859-1, not UTF-8.

But my previous workaround now works. But still, it could be nice to use 
  ISO-8859-1 coding in KDE's konsole.

Thanks! (I feel a little bit stupid not having read the release notes 
first). Of course the answer was here. The simplest way is also to use 
the -Y option while ssh-ing to my university. Then start a remote xterm, 
because my university use ISO-8859-1 the coding is correct.

The release notes say "To forward X11 so that applications are run as 
trusted clients, invoke ssh with the -Y flag instead of the -X flag, or 
set ForwardX11Trusted in the ~/.ssh/config file".

For now I as said use ssh -Y. But if I want to make a .ssh/config file, 
does it need to contain more than the line ForwardX11Trusted?
