Excerpt of my .muttrc: (it's a different mail account, not this one). Seemingly by coincidence there is a similar issue that arose in vim_use. There it is probably an issue of googlegroups but i thought a mention could do no harm: in the vim_use mailinglist it is this recent thread: Garbled mail on list. Was: Text replacing question Sorry for not being able to write anything substantial about the matter. As I have been involved in the garbled mail on vim_use I thought I need to comment. I first thought, this was an issue with mutt, but now I think it's googlegroups that is seriously messing with mails. The reason I believe this are: - my linux system has been setup for use of UTF-8 for years and so far has been working seamlessly. - I had never issues before, though I usually do not use subscripts a lot but every once in a while on the couple of mailing lists I am involved in. - the garbled mail in my sent-box looks alright (and while this does not mean anything by itself, I saw that the same mail received on the list has had a changed encoding and content-transfer-encoding. - since this happened to 2 mutt users on the vim_use list in the last time (and I don't remember that this happened before), this might mean that google changed something within their configuration currently. (But who really knows?) This only seems to happen, if two special chars are following right after each other, subscripts separated by whitespace on each side seems not affected (because I could reproduce it that way). I think setting :set allow_8bit=no within mutt could help prevent this, but this is just a guess. @Christoph: you should show us the source of the mail (including headers), so we are able to tell you, whether this is an issue with mutt, your editor or the MUA of your recipients. As you have also set allow_8bit, you might give set allow_8bit=no a try to force quoted-printable encoding (which seems to suit the robustness principle better). regards, Christian -- :wq

Well, you are on a different distro that I, openSUSE 11.2. I suspect you
need to install texlive-latex or some combination of texlive and latex as
the dvips binary is needed:
dvips - convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript
14:56 wahoo:~ rpm -q --requires muttprint
LaTeX
psutils
perl
perl-Text-Iconv
perl-TimeDate
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
/usr/bin/env { from coreutils }
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) = 4.4.6-1
your system's requirements will be different as you do not use rpm. I
suspect you are on a debian derivative, synaptics *should* provide a list
of the required supporting packages. I don't know how you installed
muttprint, but I would have expected your system to have complained that
a required package was missing.
let me know if I can help more.

manually installed them. Now when I try to print I get the blue window
