1.3.23 libiconv/HP-UX 10.20 question
Hi! I have just update my mutt-1.2.5i installation (with charmaps) to 1.3.23i. While everything else seems to work nicely, I have a problem when displaying characters beyond ASCII. I have installed libiconv-1.7. When viewing Mails with foreign characters in it in a dtterm (environment variable LANG=C.iso88591), umlauts etc are displayed in numeric transcription (e.g. \360 instead of an a-umlaut). When LANG is not being set, single character representation is chosen, but the actual display does hardly match the correct character. Setting iconv-hook following the example for HP-UX 10.20 does not make a difference. I could not find an explanation of the mechanisms in mutt/doc or the libiconv distribution. How should this thing be set up?

I did not find a command to get this list (mutt -v only delivers the compile time options). In Muttrc it is not set (default shall be ).

I'm not sure whether you can get a list, but you can check a specific variable by typing: :set ?variable So, in this case that would be :set ?charset HTH, -- René Clerc - ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. -Dorothy PGP signature

So we have LANG=C.iso89951 charset=iso-8895-1 LANG not set charset=roman8 Best regards, Lutz -- Lutz Jaenicke [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTU Cottbus http://www.aet.TU-Cottbus.DE/personen/jaenicke/ Lehrstuhl Allgemeine Elektrotechnik Tel. +49 355 69-4129 Universitaetsplatz 3-4, D-03044 Cottbus Fax. +49 355 69-4153 PGP signature

I don't understand why you are seeing the numerical representation with LANG=C.iso88591... Please make sure that the following match: - The character set of the screen font you use. - The character set in the LANG and LC_CTYPE environment variables. - Mutt's charset variable. - The characters your keyboard sends through the terminal to mutt. Once that's the case, everything should work nicely. -- Thomas Roesslerhttp://log.does-not-exist.org/ PGP signature

I have just recompiled mutt with --enable-locales-fix (as proposed in http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/mutt/#faqs) and it seems to work now...
