Hi list, as the subject says, I am trying to query the little brother database (lbdb) for an email address that contains a german umlaut in its realname. While querying the database from bash works somehow (using the lbdbq command) and only replacing the umlaut with a question mark symbol, the query function from within mutt throws "standard input <Binaryfilematches>".
This error message sounds a lot like grep, and I suspect mutt (or lbdb) to just grep the database file when searching. Now grep has flag (-a) that forces it to treat the input file(s) as ascii whatsoever and I am wondering if mutt could at least use that one to query lbdb? Nevertheless, if someone has an idea how lbdb could handle non-standard characters in realnames of email addresses I would be delighted to know. best, Peter
