The current (at least in v1.21) binary detection fails
when non-ASCII characters are used. This patch fails a
bit better there. Another idea would be to detect
files tagged as binary in CVS (i.e. -kb)

    I'll work on a change that uses "rlog -h" to get the binary
    flag from CVS, so we really get this right. Would be nice
    if CVS understood text in better ways than it does now.

    Hi!

    What's the current status of this item?

    We have many files that contain a few french accents, and
    for which we don't get our diff's by email since they are
    considered as binary, which is annoying!

    Thanks in advance!
    Nicolas
