We're kind of stuck here using the POSIX locale implementation. As I recall, the issue is some variables (LANG) are used if you don't set specific variables (the one you really care about is LC_CTYPE) and LC_ALL overrides everything. nmh is probably one of the few applications that deals with characters from different character sets in the normal course of things, so we actually need to know the local character set you support so character set conversion can be performed. I'm open to hearing how we can improve ... yes, just doing substitution for failed character conversions is on the list. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
