You will have to use a UTF-8 locale if you want mutt/gvim to be able to handle anything beyond ASCII. When setting a POSIX locale, I also get this: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit When using a UTF-8 locale, mutt correctly determines whether the produced message fits in us-ascii, iso-8859-1, or requires utf-8. If just setting the better locale doesn't help, then also try with an empty .muttrc. Benno -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
