Garbled charsets
Hi! Until yesterday, I used mutt installed from RedHat's RPM (125) I have now switched to mutt-1327i-11rhl6 (linked from wwwmuttorg) and have discovered that my outgoing messages have garbled charsets (and umlaut letters are displayed as question marks in incoming messages) I don't even know where to start looking, I've tried the charset variable in muttrc but couldn't get anywhere Is this something that needs to be done at compile time?

* Johan Almqvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020305 16:49]: Until yesterday, I used mutt installed from RedHat's RPM (1.2.5). I have now switched to mutt-1.3.27i-1.1.rhl6 (linked from www.mutt.org) and have discovered that my outgoing messages have garbled charsets (and umlaut letters are displayed as question marks in incoming messages). I use the nl_NL@euro locale, but you can use whichever one you want. Don't forget to generate them. On Debian that is adding your locale to /etc/locale.gen e.g. | # This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find a list | # of valid supported locales at /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz. Other | # combinations are possible, but may not be well tested. If you change | # this file, you need to rerun locale-gen. | | en_US ISO-8859-1 | nl_NL ISO-8859-1 | nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15 and then running locale-gen. When you did that you can set the charset in your muttrc to the proper locale in my case: | set charset=iso-8859-15 I've also set the following to environment variables, from my .bash_profile: | export LC_CTYPE=nl_NL@euro | export LANG=C When all this shouldn't work, I remember that it sometimes helps (?) to compile mutt with --without-wc-funcs, but I don't know why this should work and it maybe a Bad thing to do.

* Dominik Mierzejewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] [04-03-02 03:01 PM EST]: Good. You might want to try us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8, though. I have mine set to us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-2:utf-8. Excellent! My locale is set to en_US and everything is showing the way it should. Thanks for the tips and help!
