I've found nothing on the web / man page.

Ctrl-M should be something with Decimal value 14. Does anybody know why Ctrl-M (Carriage Return) is the same as Ctrl-J (Line Feed / Newline)? Perhaps it has something to do with portability between Linux, Windows and Mac computers? > Getting back to the subject of overlapping keys, applications that > are designed to accept input from a terminal, as mutt is, accept > only sequences of 7-bit or 8-bit characters because that's all the > original terminals supported. I've understood this and the in-depth explanation in your other mail, at least I believe so. But mutt is able to use the Unicode character set for displaying. So, input has to be sequences of 7-bit / 8-bit characters, output can be the whole unicode character set?
