Re: Getting accented characters etc. to work in mutt pager

So maybe the question I should be asking is:- How do I make the mutt pager send the 8-bit characters "as is" rather than changing them to "?". Does anyone have any ideas about this? It does seem as if this is what is happening so how do I tell the mutt pager to do nothing to 8-bit characters? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

How do I get the mutt pager to understand/display accented characters
correctly?
If I remeber (not in front of the box right now) LC_CTYPE=fr_FR solved
the problem here...
