Now, the subject _should_ read: Mutt and ÅåÄäÖö characters The problem is that when I begin composing a message in mutt and it asks for address and subject, the scandinavian characters (among others) are garbled as I type them in. This is puzzling, because mutt's pager displays them just fine on received mail, vim works like a charm, and the terminal has no problem with those characters either. Situation is the same under pure console and X. I have found no help on the net; this does not seem to be a common grief. Mutt's input line seems to be the only thing affected.
I'm running an utf-8 environment, and the muttrc are in utf-8 according to vim. Output of `locale` is: LANG= LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER=fi_FI.utf8 LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= Setting LC_ALL=fi_FI.utf8 won't remove the problem. I have even played with $send_charset, which is set to "us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8", but changing it to "iso-8859-1" or "utf-8" made no difference. I'm really at a loss as to what causes this problem, or how to fix it. Help would be appreciated. Regards, Juho -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
