Mutt e-mail charset. Read is bad, write is ok.
I think I'm missing something here but I can't figure out what that option is: My language (Portuguese) has those vocals with signs on top (the acute, grave, tilde, ...). My editor is set to vi and I can write those letters fine ( á, ò ). However, I can't read them, either in index or pager mode. I'm guessing it's some charset related option.. But how does it affects only pager and index, and does not affect editor? Thank you -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For example, export [EMAIL PROTECTED] For this, you have to generate this locale, that is issue a dpkg-reconfigure locales for instance and choose to generate [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the one you're interested in. hth, Olivier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Answering myself: I've notisted that some other things also didn't worked with Portuguese characters, like joe or even the console... The problem after all was that I hadn't installed locales.. so: apt-get locales select your locales. In my setup was everything pt_PT export [EMAIL PROTECTED] that's it! (I think I'll put my LANG settings at /etc/profile or .bashrc or someother) Thanks for reading! Joao Clemente -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

That way they'll be used for anyone who logs in, whether from the console or in X. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
