Of course; mutt-utf8 in Debian is a diversion. > And it certainly does work with CJK. (because it's compiled against ncursesw) Why mutt-utf8 is a separate package instead of the default in Debian, I have no idea. It used to make sense, when mutt-utf8 was compiled against a buggy Slang hack, but that's no longer the case; it's now just as functional as the main binary. (I don't feel like spending the time trying to convince the Mutt maintainer to change this, though.) -- Glenn Maynard -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
