Yay! On RHEL5 iconv codeset names are all upper-case, and evidently case-sensitive (the iconv_open(3) manpage doesn't say anything about case-sensitivity). On Solaris they are mixed-case, but aliases are explicitly case-insensitive (per the output of iconv -l). So mutt can't blindly up-case charset names -- it'd have to know to do it on Linux but not elsewhere. Nico --
