Because not all software supports multibyte characters (in particular not too old versions of zsh). Also, almost all my files are in ISO-8859-1, so that using ISO-8859-1 is more practical (mainly for "grep", when searching files on a regexp with accented characters). fvwm is also buggy in UTF-8 locales. > Last time I used linux, that worked very well -- and it works very > well on MacOS now, too. Mac OS X 10.4.* has some problems: Try "cat", then type: aé[Backspace][Backspace][Enter] > I frankly wouldn't bother adding code to mutt to work properly in > another inconsistent specification edge case, where the user > actually runs several locales in parallel. The problem occurs even when using only *one* locale. If the user is assumed to run under UTF-8, how about removing the $charset variable? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
