there is also /usr/bin/lbdb-fetchaddr which contains the line:

  additional_param=""

where it can be added.

Well I add the -c flag to lbdb-fetchaddr.

When I send mail from mutt I do it as follows:

In .muttrc I have
set sendmail="~/.mutt/mysendmail.sh"

and that script holds the line 
#!/bin/bash
tee >(lbdb-fetchaddr -a -c utf8 -x "to:cc")|/home/peter/bin/msmtpq -a 
account $@

which lets lbdb save all to: or cc: addresses to its database in utf8
encoding, which is the default locale on my system.

Hi list,

I found out that the way lbdb collects the addresses from mails I send
from mutt via lbdb-fetchaddr will create an iso-8859-15 file unless
specified differently using the (-c) flag.
Please excuse the noise, and thanks.

[SPAM?] strange characters in lbdb file make mutt throw "standard input "

[Peter P.]

Hi list,

as the subject says, I am trying to query the little brother database
(lbdb) for an email address that contains a german umlaut in its
realname. While querying the database from bash works somehow (using the
lbdbq command) and only replacing the umlaut with a question mark
symbol, the query function from within mutt throws
"standard input ".

This error message sounds a lot like grep, and I suspect mutt (or lbdb)
to just grep the database file when searching. Now grep has flag (-a)
that forces it to treat the input file(s) as ascii whatsoever and I am
wondering if mutt could at least use that one to query lbdb?

Nevertheless, if someone has an idea how lbdb could handle non-standard
characters in realnames of email addresses I would be delighted to know.

best, Peter
