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
