Well, firstly, don't use latin9 as your system charset. We are in the 21st century now, it should be UTF-8 (unless you mostly use CJK, which is unlikely in France). Second, those charset-hook declarations look wrong, the form of the 2nd parameter should be cp1252 not WINDOWS-1252. In any case cp1252 is the default in mutt for body parts with broken charsets if I recall correctly. Third, your application/vnd.ms-excel body part is binary data not text. So it won't be interpreted with a charset anyway. Just make sure that your mailcap is set up to launch numeric for an application/vns.ms-excel MIME type and away you go. -- Chris Burdess
