Accented characters not showing in pager
I received an e-mail recently in which there were a number of accented in the message body. However, these characters did not appear, only blank space where they should have been. Opening this e-mail in another mailer on the same machine displayed the characters. I'm trying to discern why mutt is not displaying the characters and other mailers are. I thought perhaps there was something in .muttrc overriding the locale setting, but I can find nothing. The output of locale on my box shows: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Where else might I look to troubleshoot this? -- Cheers, Trey Distress, n.: A disease incurred by exposure to the prosperity of a friend. -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary Linux laptop 2.6.16.37-0.23-default i686 GNU/Linux 11:32am up 2 days 5:59, 6 users, load average: 0.24, 0.44, 0.53

accented characters
there was some discussion a couple weeks ago about typing accented characters in X etc., and a couple other people agreed that it was hard to find an english language document on setting this up. so just thought i'd post this link, which i found helpful. http://www.sober.com/content/accented_characters.html hope that helps someone else out. and i'm excited to finally have a use for that damn 'windows' key : w

How to display accented characters in mutt 1.3.25?
I recently tried out mutt 1.3.25. This is my first look at the 1.3.* series of mutt. One thing I noticed right away is that mutt is no longer display accented characters correctly. On the index screen they appear as question marks. When viewing the text of an email, they appear as octal with a / in front of them. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the font I'm using, because if I fall back to 1.2.5.1 everything looks fine. Any idea what I need to tweak?

Normally my locale would be de_DE, but I don't like German messages in mutt and

locale :-) Finally some advantage in having Irland in the EU ;-)

Re: Accented characters
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Summing up all the suggestion received to solve my Italian accented vowels problem, in the end I resorted to putting in /etc/profile the following two lines: export LANG=en_US export LC_CTYPE=it_IT This enable me to have accented vowels while still working with Debian in English. In fact, owing to the still poor Debian's translation into Italian and my partecipacion in many Debian's and other NGs, it is by far better to stick to English as far as diagnostic is concerned.

Hello, I have problems with mutt's charset settings. I am using iso-8859-2 charset, but I cannot configure mutt to display accented characters properly when the incoming letter has missing "charset" part in the Content-Type.
