Another approach is to use the repl -convertargs switch.  See
.../share/doc/nmh/contrib/replaliases for shell aliases that make
it easy to use.  I source that file and then use either rt
or rtm if I am or am not, respectively, going to add attachments
with whatnow(1) attach.

Have you also tried `mhfixmsg -textcharset utf-8'?

[nmh-workers] Quoting non-ASCII in reply

2018-08-20 Thread Conrad Hughes
I recognise that this seems to be an old issue, so I guess the short
version of the question is has mime handling in repl (so, for example,
non-UTF8 text being quoted in a reply turns up as UTF8, not as '=91'
etc.) progressed at all since 2012?

--

Long version:

Non-UTF8 messages appear fine when I 'show' them, but when I 'repl' all
non-UTF8 characters are in '=91'/'=92'/'=96' format.  The main offenders
are Windows-1252 messages.  Any suggestions where I should look for
what's causing this?  I'm using system default mhl.format and mhl.reply,
which respectively have the following 'body' lines:

 body:nocomponent,overflowtext=,overflowoffset=0,noleftadjust
 body:component="> ",overflowtext="> ",overflowoffset=0

.. is this the same issue as described here?

  [2012] "repl and mime handling"
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2012-01/msg00172.html

.. at first I thought that mhfixmsg might help, but things seem to end
up in even more of a mess after (for example) 'mhfixmsg -reformat
-replacetextplain'..

One example that doesn't work would give us more chance of helping.

repl(1) has -fmtproc, and /usr/share/doc/nmh/contrib/replyfilter is a
Perl script to be used with it.  You might prefer that approach.
Searching for `replyfilter' in the archives turns up various
conversations.  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/

Hi Leonardo,

Thanks for your suggestion:

> Have you also tried `mhfixmsg -textcharset utf-8'?

I hadn't, but it doesn't seem to improve my results, with or without
various combinations of -reformat and -replacetextplain.

Is mhfixmsg the most likely tool for this job then: no good solution has
been produced solely within repl?

C.
