Is this local to blackbox, or are you changing the environment? I went
through considerable grief recently trying to get mutt to handle
internationalization properly, and I wonder if this has something to do
with it.
Despite the fact that my .bashrc explicitly sets:
export LANG="en_US"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US"
I can't get internationalization in mutt unless I explicitly set LC_CTYPE
before calling it. I had this in the menu:
# [exec] (mail) {aterm -geometry 100x40 -title "Mail for
# `whoami`@`hostname`" -e mutt -y}
(unwrapped, of course)
And that doesn't work. The LC_CTYPE variable is undefined, and all I get
are question marks. OTOH, if what I do is:
[exec] (mail) {aterm -geometry 100x40 -title "Mail for
`whoami`@`hostname`" -e bin/launchmutt}
(again unwrapped, of course)
Where bin/launchmutt is:
$ cat bin/launchmutt
#!/bin/bash
LC_CTYPE=en_US mutt -y
Now I get proper internationalization.
Serious kludge, but I partcipate in enough mailing lists where large
numbers do NOT use ISO8859-1 that it becomes an issue.
