Well, your question made me investigate a bit more, and I discovered that I am indeed able to see Japanese text... sometimes at least. I copied text from Japanese Wikipedia, and it is copied correctly into gnome-terminal. I can 'cat' emails in Japanese and I see them. I alternate between locales ISO-8859-1 and EUC-JP, without problem. What I *cannot* do is read these emails in mutt/jed (I use jed as the editor for mutt). I see things like: ^[$B3'MM$+$i$NB??t$N%;%C%7%g%sDs0F$r$*BT$A$$$?$7$F$*$j$^$9!#^[(J Reading the email as a usual file with jed also fails. I would say the problem is jed. Except that when I read the folder list with mutt subjects also come out wrong; or when I simply read the mail, and I understand jed is not involved here. So any ideas on how to fix mutt/jed? My problem seems to be specifically to read mails in Japanese with mutt. I could change the editor to xemacs, but 1) I'd prefer to stay with jed because it's faster; 2) problems with reading mail and subject list would not be solved by changing the editor.
