It seems to have problems with double-width asian characters. It works fine with European character sets... > Make sure that you have a fairly recent version of mutt, and that > it's compiled against ncursesw, not plain ncurses or slang, and you > should be set. The Debian unstable package is what I'm using, BTW. Well, I'm running red hat 9, which AFAIK doesn't have ncursesw, and I don't want to be bothered to be mucking with critical libraries from source. Not because I can't, but because I can't be bothered... FWIW, Every other program I use with Korean works fine in xterm. Only Mutt blows up. So I think it's a bug in Mutt anyway... I'm only two development releases behind IIRC, and I did download the source for the latest a couple of weeks ago, but these days I'm too busy to be upgrading half the libraries and all the software on my system just so one trivial feature will work properly. Mutt works fine with ko_KR/EUC-KR, so I just use that. I can probably wait until the next time I need to upgrade my distribution to make the necessary changes. Derek
