Mutt or muttng?
So far, I've been using mutt-ng, but today I figured I would try out vanilla mutt -- for no particular reason, other than to try out the newest relase. I got an error message, notifying me that the following variables are unknown: trash list_reply abort_noattach attach_remind_regexp strip_was max_line_length sidebar_shorten_hierarchy I suppose these are functions that haven't (yet?) made their way into the main mutt, but I do like them, and I have some use for most of them. Before I reinstall mutt-ng - are there any equivalents to these (a designated trash folder, an option to reply to the list and not the original sender; a reminder for forgotten attachments; a max line length) in regular mutt? And, perhaps more importantly: are there good reasons why I should use mutt and not muttng? eyolf -- When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*". -- Linus Torvalds
Re: Charset issue?
This has been an interesting thread to follow for someone who still hasn't gotten his head around the locale/encoding stuff. The following: - U8 line I get "won" followed by an "A with a caret on top" followed by an apostrophe and a "t". I then get "A with caret" quote mark "reply" "A with caret" quote mark. Made me think: I would have loved to see a website where all these common encoding errors were collected in a table or a database, where one could check: "there are 'As with carets on top' in my message where I expected this and that character" [lookup in table] "Aha the message is in encoding x but my reader thinks it's y". In other words: some kind of cheat sheet "if you have many characters like this, the error is most likely this" etc. Anyone know of anything like that?
