 Did you really lose the configuration setting, or was it still set?  
 
 If what you've typed only uses the characters as in US-ASCII, then
 that's all it needs to send as (the first 127 characters of UTF-8 are
 the same as US-ASCII).
 
 Cutting and pasting into mail clients was a common problem with other
 systems, I don't know how Mutt would handle that.  Though I think Fedora
 handles that all internally in the same way.  Unlike some Windows
 clients, where a copy from a UTF-8 page into a client using Windows-1252
 encoding, often went bad, as the copy and paste didn't transcode.

mutt is an excellent console email client, but I don't think it guesses
anything about the set of bytes my $EDITOR returns it, or if it tries
to, it fails (as proven).

Since my environment is an UTF-8 one, there's no problem to define
send_charset as being UTF-8

 then it works.

It certainly is, if you're going to bitch about other people's emails
not rendering intelligibly, as you've done before, when the only thing
wrong is that YOU are mangling them.  I think this episode is at least
the third time that you've moaned about someone's text, when there was
nothing wrong with it.

 You have to use the correct encoding.

 it is not me using wrong encoding.

Erm, yes it is, when you force the client to believe an encoding is
being used, when it really isn't.  You were the one seeing mangled text,
the rest of us saw it quite fine.  The original post was sent correctly.
And none of us had to do anything special, at all, to read it properly.

 play with your client's font preferences.  You might have to manually
 select font families for different encodings (named after localities,

 screw that. this whole thing started us-ascii and then a bunch of crazy
 asses, bgc included, came along and caused all of problems that make

Who, the hell, is bgc???  ;-\

For what it's worth, US-ASCII has always been inadequate, even for plain
old English.  Yep, despite what many would think, English, itself, uses
more than A to Z, 0 to 9, and more than the scant punctuation found on
the QWERTY keyboard.  Accented words are part of English.  When English
adopts a word from a foreign country, it keeps it as is.  Lazily over
time, accented letters lose their accents, but the accented word is
still correctly part of the language, and US-ASCII is *useless* for
representing it.  Ligatures are part of English, ENCYCLOPÆDIA is a
correct way to spell the word in the English language, but US-ASCII is
*useless* for representing it.  And there's a plethora of proper
punctuation that US-ASCII cannot do.

 probably want to untick the option to allow messages to use other fonts.

 no way, hoza. like i said, i am not screen chasing.

Of course, everyone must pander to you.  Everyone must use the lowest
common denominator...

I'll give you a hint - a hammer is not a screwdriver.  And the name
you're trying to say would be José, but US-ASCII is incapable of it, and
you're not even close.  You probably think voilà is spelt walla, too...

 Fonts issues are one thing I really dislike about Firefox and
 Thunderbird, they've convoluted it all to hell, and use *pixel* sizes in
 a disastrous fashion.

 it is not fault of mozilla products. it is fault of those who keep
 trying to change it for their own personal likes.

The mess of font selection in Mozilla isn't their own fault?  You try
figuring out what they've done.  Something is determined to be Western,
or not, depending on whether it used ISO-8859-1, or UTF-8, and/or
something else.  And they certainly don't give you any easy way to
select the same font for all languages, if you happened to have one that
could manage.  You have to plough through each region, one by one,
customising each one individually, if the defaults aren't good.  Those
who designed Mozilla designed that mess, it IS their fault for such a
crappy way of setting fonts.

 how else are you going to do it if you do not do it by pixel??? think
 about that before you answer.

Um, you seem to have missed the POINT about how to set font sizes, pun
intended.  If the fonts *really* were 16 pixels as the program likes to
pretend, on one screen they'd look like flea poo, on another they'd be
quite big.  Setting font sizes using pixels as the reference point is an
incredibly DUMB way to do it, made even more worse by not actually using
the pixel as the size (it's scaled, yet still calling itself pixel
size).  You can see that nasty effect when you do calibrate a system
properly, putting the *real* DPI into your configuration (that's the
dots per inch that's available to draw with, not something else).

Font sizing should be done by a system like points, where you can pick
an actual font size, absolutely, and the computer system figures out how
many pixels to draw it with.  You want 12 point type on page, you ask
for it and get it in one go, without diddling up and down trying to find
a pixel size that gives you 12 point text.

It's made all the more worse when some dingbat web author doesn't
understand this, and sets pages with 6 pixel or 60 pixel text, because
that looks fine on *their* monitor.

 just look at what has happened. really. nearly every time you open a
 web page some clown has come up with some new whiz bang crappy new way
 to wow public. all it is is more and more waste.

Talk about going off on a tangent...

I agree, but I suspect the real culprit is the X image model, which
deals with pixel-level coordinates for describing screen positions and

probably too late ...

Just for your information, the two dots are called a diaeresis, not double 
grave.

EF BF BD is the UTF-8 representation of the character U+FFFD REPLACEMENT 
CHARACTER, which is described as used to replace an incoming character whose 
value is unknown or unrepresentable in Unicode. I see it as a white question 
mark in a black square standing on its corner. This probably means that some 
program took the ISO 8859-1 text, tried to read it as if it were UTF-8, found 
the byte value F3, and found that it was an invalid UTF-8 code. My guess is 
that it was your Thunderbird that did this. Have you forced it to read 
everything as UTF-8?

  BTW it's an accented 'o' (ó).

 that is what i see when you send it, but not when rui sends it.

Rui's message was encoded in ISO 8859-1. Patrick's was in UTF-8. Both reached 
me unmangled. To see for yourself, press Ctrl+U and look at the 
header Content-Type.

yes. 8859 throws up garbage characters just as bad as utf-8, but utf-8

 Rui's message was encoded in ISO 8859-1. Patrick's was in UTF-8. Both reached 
 me unmangled. To see for yourself, press Ctrl+U and look at the 
 header Content-Type.

i am up on ctrl+u. i do it to a lot of messages that i get to see what
mail client is being used and what i am trying to read.

rui was using mutt for that one. either he has bee around a while, or
does not have his 'x' working.

Yeah, it seems sometime in the past I lost my send_charset flag setting.

So even though I was using UTF-8, mutt sent out

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

NOT NICE :) sorry all, it's now fixed.

Been around for a while, don't really trust Evolution, but use it at
work for meetings and stuff in a Windows centric desktop LAN, and lost a
flag which set the correct charset!

X works fine ever since radeon-hd and radeon got Free Software support
to the ATI card on this laptop. Fortunately it was only a few months of
running at 1024x768 VESA on a 1280x800 screen :)

Do you often receive emails that are encoded in UTF-8 but claim to be some

encoding. Let Thunderbird use the encoding that is specified in each 
individual message, and all will be good as long as the messages adhere to

I don't see anything wrong in your message. The stated encoding matched the 
actual encoding, so no standard was violated. You may send everything in 
UTF-8 if you like, but you don't have to. What's important is that your email 
client specifies which encoding it uses, and it did.

I'm not a Mutt user but I guess that if send_charset is unset it will 
automatically choose the smallest encoding that can encode all of the 
characters you used. In this case the ó couldn't be encoded in ASCII, but it 
could be encoded in ISO 8859-1, so Mutt chose ISO 8859-1, transcoded your 
text into ISO 8859-1, and specified charset=iso-8859-1 in the Content-Type 
header, quite correctly.

i tried that but type would change in size and i had to squint or lean
back to read messages, along with stretching page sides. after going
thru a lot of trouble, i have *all* settings to utf-8 and do best i can
to figure out what crude is.

as an example, you and several others, in some cases, your Björn is as
here, in other places, it is an inverse question mark in a 45 degree
rotated black square. some places, 'sender' column, it is just ? in 45
box. and i do note that it does depend on where you are sending from.
which shows me that you do not have all you email set up same way. [yes,
i use ctrl+u often]

 You may also want to review the thread Curious characters in Thunderbird on 
 Linux..., started by Kevin Martin last Wednesday, 17:15:13-05:00.

yes, i have been following it. and one of places you have ? boxed in
sender. which, all in all, tends to tell me you like to play around.
not knocking. just commenting. ;0)

Me either (not a Mutt user, I really dislike it), but that is the
general rule for clients:  Use the appropriate encoding (what you
actually used), but send as US-ASCII if that's all that's needed.
However, if you're preset to use UTF-8, it should be using just UTF-8 or
ASCII, not some other scheme that could also do the job.

Did you really lose the configuration setting, or was it still set?  

If what you've typed only uses the characters as in US-ASCII, then
that's all it needs to send as (the first 127 characters of UTF-8 are
the same as US-ASCII).

Cutting and pasting into mail clients was a common problem with other
systems, I don't know how Mutt would handle that.  Though I think Fedora
handles that all internally in the same way.  Unlike some Windows
clients, where a copy from a UTF-8 page into a client using Windows-1252
encoding, often went bad, as the copy and paste didn't transcode.

You can view YouTube videos with Miró, thus not needing the proprietary
flash decoder.

As an added value, Miró provides access to a huge network of video
(longer than the 24h/day can provide :))
