Re: Can not input 8bit chars in command line

2002-04-04 Thread Charles Jie 

Thanks for all your help.

I've got the answer - 'unset meta_key'.

Setting meta_key will strip the 8th bit of any 8bit key value, which is
both the key value of alt-key and mbyte characters.

best regards,
charlie

 Hi,

 I can read and write mail of 8bit charset (Traditional Chinese) in mutt.
 But I can not input them in mutt's command line - such as To:, Subject:,
 Search, Alias (the characters from XIM are stripped of the 8th bit).

 Is there a setting to enable 8bit characters in command line at bottom?

 thanks,

Unicode support is scheduled for mutt-2.0.  (that *always* works - hehe.)
okok - could it be that your shell is not configured for 7bit characters?

check the /etc/inputrc!
  set input-meta on
  set output-meta on
