Yes. Although ... personally, my gut feeling is that the character conversion should silently substitute a replacement character, like pretty much every other MUA out there. But there is not universal agreement on this. And believe me, if you don't like long explanations, you DON'T want to get in the middle of that. >ANSI_X3.4-1968 This means the character set you've indicated to the operating system that you support is US-ASCII only, which explains why you're having a hard time viewing anything with 8-bit characters. I don't want to get into a huge tortured discussion about internationaliation settings (because I know how you feel about that), but I was under the impression that pretty much all versions of Linux nowadays support all sorts of character sets. You might consider switching character sets; it would make dealing with internationalized email much easier. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
