Package: mutt Version: 1.5.13-1 Severity: wishlist I have added this snippet in my ~/.muttrc to work around buggy clients that send mail with a non-ascii charset _but_ without any Content-Type.
# workaround buggy clients unset strict_mime set assumed_charset=iso-8859-1 I think it'd be a good idea to make it a builtin default (other hardcoded parameters in mutt seem to agree in that iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Versions of packages mutt depends on: ii exim4 4.63-3 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-light [mai 4.63-3 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls13 1.4.2-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libidn11 0.6.5-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libncursesw5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsasl2 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.2 Authentication abstraction library Versions of packages mutt recommends: ii locales 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: National Language ( ii mime-support 3.37-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
