Hello blfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org I have installed Postfix 2.11.0 and mailx-12.4. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/postfix.html http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/mailx.html
Problem: I can not send email using mailx (mail) if I have Swedish umlauts (åäö etc) in the message body. Mailx fails after I press ctrl-D to send. magnus@lfs ~> mail magnus Subject: test1 åäö EOT Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character "/home/magnus/dead.letter" 1/4 . . . message not sent. magnus@lfs ~> Everything is fine if I skip umlauts. magnus@lfs ~> mail magnus Subject: test This is a test. EOT magnus@lfs ~> mail Heirloom mailx version 12.4 7/29/08. Type ? for help. "/var/mail/magnus": 1 message 1 new >N 1 mag...@mail.lfs.lo Sun Feb 23 13:41 18/574 test ? Message 1: >From mag...@mail.lfs.local Sun Feb 23 13:41:26 2014 Return-Path: <mag...@mail.lfs.local> X-Original-To: magnus Delivered-To: mag...@mail.lfs.local Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:41:26 +0100 To: mag...@mail.lfs.local Subject: test User-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.4 7/29/08 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii From: mag...@mail.lfs.local Status: R This is a test. ? At EOF I have tried to modify /etc/nail.rc, ~/.mailrc and ~/.nailrc and add: set ttycharset=utf-8, but it does not help. I have also tried export LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 in bash shell, and other variants, but no change. I have noticed the "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" in the non-umlaut test. However I can not change it. The rest of the LFS/BLFS system I have handle umlauts well, i.e. Bash shell, vim, KDE Konsole, Kmail, Kate etc. How to configure mailx and postfix to handle umlauts? Best regards, Magnus
