Since you're using a devel version of mutt, it automatically sets the send_charset based on what the content of the mail can be converted to without losing any data (afaik). For example: set charset=utf-8 set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-2022-jp:iso-8859-1:utf-8" which automatically changes the content-type to iso-2022-jp when there is japanese text in the mail. pretty cool. -- Josh Huber | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/6B21489A 61F0 6138 BE7B FEBF A223 E9D1 BFE1 2065 6B21 489A PGP signature

Yes, ask the sender to use a propper email tool ;-) Edit the charset in the header to iso-8859-1 and try again. Mutt believes that the header info is correct.
