Me too. :-) There's a mechanism for telling a hierarchy of programs their locale; environment variables. You're using it, but you're telling some of them a different locale to what you really want them to use. That's not the software's fault. If I use mail(1) here in the C locale to send an email and give it non-ASCII characters then they are ignored, don't make it into the email at all, and that email isn't MIME, thus it's US-ASCII and valid at that because non-ASCII has been (silently) stripped. It offers only environment variables to alter its locale. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
