Author slrn and charset

I'm a totally new(b) Debian (Ubuntu) user, and I'm having some
trouble with slrn. Danish special characters (ae, oe and aa)
aren't displayed correctly and they're not send correctly either.

On a side note the subject threading tree consist of ASCII
characters instead of grapic characters.

I think the problem is that my locale is en_DK.UTF-8 instead of
just en_DK (ISO-8859-1).

In another group someone helped me change my locale with
'dpkg-reconfigure locales', and it worked. What I want to know
is, if that is the right way to do it? Do all slrn users have
to make that change to the locale?

From what I can read in slrn's manual (6.12. charset), the
terminal slrn is running in is assumed to be using isolatin,
and if it's not, slrn won't be functioning correctly. Have I
understood this correctly?
