Re: Subject charset issue
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 14:24:47 -0400 I was able to get mutt and bash to agree on en_US.ISO8859-1, but there is no option for that in Terminal.app's preferences. I only see Western (ISO Latin 1) and Western (ISO Latin 9) [In fact, I even opened up Terminal.app's .plist to see if I could manually put in the right string, but no dice].

Strange: I've seen reports about this very setting working OK on MacOS-X. The shell command locale charmap prints something? And what for the usual :set charset ?charset (normally the first UTF-8, the later utf-8). Plus, I sent a test mail to myself with some accented chars, and although they looked fine when I sent it, they were garbled upon receipt (it wasn't slashes and digits, it was UTF?..blah blah). Your mail server seems to be the Sun Java System Messaging Server, a sequel of the ugly iPlanet, well(!) known for its careless reinterpretation, rewriting, and reordering of headers, dirty reencodings, munging of crypographic contents, modified msgids, lost messages, and so on. IMHO a hype toy, not to be used for serious work. However, we can't be sure if it's its fault, or effect of some charset mix in your config. Could you please send me a test mail, in UTF-8 setup, with Cristóbal's accent both in subject and in body? I was able to get mutt and bash to agree on en_US.ISO8859-1, but there is no option for that in Terminal.app's preferences. I only see Western (ISO Latin 1) That's it: Latin-1 and 8859-1 are the one same thing. The accented 'o' in 'Cristobal', i.e., 'ó', showed up Double fine: You also sent this 'ó' correctly! :-) but it ceased to be rendered correctly in Cristobal's own From: line, whereas it was fine before I started meddling. Instead of the correct char, I got a tilde over a capital A and some other junk. This seems like a step backward. Only people on UTF-8 terminals happen, by happy accident, to see it wear the apparence of correctness. For everyone else, it's broken. Broken from the beginning, and only Cristóbal can fix it cleanly. pick one already available in locale -a. zillion crazy moon languages. :-) locale -a | grep ^en_US should show the available variants for your language and country only.

I know nothing about IMAP. I seem to vaguely recall that folder names in the IMAP protocol are in UTF-7 (example Crist+APM-bal). However this unreadable thing is expected to be transcoded to the locale in order to become user readable. And at the other end, the server probably also transcodes this to and from its filesystem's charset.

Re: How to browse Imap folders?
I've found mutts IMAP-support to be less than stellar. A good workaround is to use a IMAP-Maildir syncronizer like offlineimap. http://software.complete.org/offlineimap -- http://polite.se

I read trough the manual,the wiki and in this list archives,but i am not lucky. Then try /Folders + /Actions in the wiki guide again. Also note than IMAP-browsing has been improved recently, upgrade to 1.5.15+ mailboxes = imap://mavior.eu/ mailboxes = imap://kdo.it/ See /Syntax or manual.txt for how to define mailboxes. Is it possible to browse my imap folders, without do c and write down every time my imap address and then browse with auto-completing?

Re: How to browse Imap folders?
I have read about it.Maybe i will try that. But I have to say that I get the beaviour I want if I insert this command in my muttrc: set folder =imap://mavior.eu The problem is then my base folder is to default my imap one.Then I can't navigate with a tab my local folders and I am again to the start point! I believed that inserting the set folder command in the folder hook would did the trickbut seems to do not! It's like if the fodler-hook doesn't match the my folder but I have tried also folder-hook imap://mavior.eu/.*? and it still doesn't work! Am I missing something about the hooks? thank you anyway Alex Polite wrote: I've found mutts IMAP-support to be less than stellar.

charset perls into wiki
Moin mutters, recently I noticed _again_ a lengthy post by Alain explaining charset issues in so great detail that people are very thankful for it. Luckily, I didn't have so many problems with charsets in the past (or simply ignored them ;), so I didn't delve deeply into it to be an expert on the underlying background. Can some kind benificiary of Alain's tutorials recapture all the good advice and convert it (last and older ones from archives) into a nice document at http://WIKI.mutt.org/ - MuttGuide - Charsets? It would be nice if Alain would not have to do it again and could save some re-typing (unless he likes it ;). Thank you. -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal!
