Hi, the new mutt is out since November 30th. And http://www.mutt.org/changes.html says the following:
(which probably means that its now an utf8-enabled application", eh ?! ;-) ... ) <cite> Character set support --------------------- - Mutt now uses the iconv interface for character set conversions. This means that you need either a very modern libc, or Bruno Haible's libiconv, which is available from <http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/>. - With sufficiently recent versions of ncurses and slang, mutt works properly in utf-8 locales. - On sufficiently modern systems, the $charset variable's value is automatically derived from the locale you use. (Note, however, that manually setting it to a value which is compatible with your locale doesn't do any harm.) - $send_charset is a colon-separated list of character sets now, defaulting to us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8. - charset-hook defines aliases for character sets encountered in messages (say, someone tags his messages with latin15 when he means iso-8859-15), iconv-hook defines local names for character sets (for systems which don't know about MIME names; see contrib/iconv for sample configuration snippets). - The change-charset function is gone. Use edit-type (C-e on the compose menu) instead. - The recode-attachment function is gone. </cite> cheers Oliver -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
