does it swap RTL text correctly when not in UTF-8? does it display both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-8 correctly? > bidiv is slightly more optimized for mail than fribidi, but only works > for ISO-8859-8 output, right? well, yeah, but if everyone would finally switch to UTF-8, it will not be needed. > I write this from a debian-woody system.

I eventually went on to use mutt from backports.org . I use the one in sarge, there is only mutt and no mutt-utf8. I hope I can assume they merged the two well, because I have seen no leaks yet. > > I run it from a screen session.
