I don't understand the problem: Quick scanning your mails here since July shows you sometimes quote and write accented chars correctly, and sometimes not.

You use different builds of Mutt, or different setups, right? > i downloaded the latest iconv lib and installed it, recompiled mutt > --with-iconv=$HOME That's not always enough on systems having their own integrated iconv functions. Can you confirm it's linked with $HOME/lib/libiconv.so.2 using something equivalent to ldd or chatr for Solaris? Otherwise you could try to play with "export LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/lib" before configure. | $ ldd /usr/local/bin/mutt | libncurses.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5 | libiconv.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 | libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 > but no go. this *really* bugs me, too... *grr* What's your terminal, it's charset, your $charset and locale?

This would be a problem too... But you can install a private locale in $HOME: find source files (locales and charsets), build a choosen one giving a destination in $HOME, and use it in $LANG/$LC_* with absolute path. Like: | $ localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 $HOME/de_DE | Computing table size for character classes might take a while... done | Computing table size for collation information might take a while... done | | $ ls -ld $HOME/de_DE | drwxr-xr-x 2 alainalain1024 Oct 15 02:21 /home/alain/de_DE/ | | $ LC_ALL=$HOME/de_DE checklocale | [...] | current settings: | LC_ALL = "/home/alain/de_DE" | LANG= "fr_FR.cp-1252@euro" | LC_MESSAGES = "C" | LC_COLLATE = "C" | | Overriding all locale categories with LC_ALL succeeded. | [...snip perfect ISO isprint() table...] Note I cheated: A bug here (libc5) makes this doesn't work as standard say. I had to use the relative path "../../..$HOME/de_DE" really (3 levels up from /usr/share/locale). Bye!Alain.
RE: iconv stuff on solaris still unresolved
I recently installed mutt (1.4) on a number of solaris machines: sol7 and sol8. I needed libiconv and I certainly had to be root, regardless of my target. It was not a simple install but it did work reliably once I did the configure correctly per below: I first set LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib ./configure --disable-nls --enable-buffy --enable-locales-fix --enable-pop - -with-regex --prefix=. I guess the with-regex is sort of critical for solaris.

No, I didn't. I probably should have, but neglected to because I've had success on all recent revs -- some minor issues on 7, but it works perfectly on 8, which is what you use. No trouble along these lines on 9 beta, either. I haven't upgraded to 9 FCS yet. I'll add that I don't have any particularly strange libraries linked. The usual Sun base and networking libraries, libgen for regexes. I suppose you might not have libintl (mine does, of course), but that would be very strange on your side. Sven, if you have a question, please ask. But don't get irritable because I didn't dissect my installation to find out why yours doesn't work. Perhaps you should post your configure output, or mail it to me directly. I'd be glad to look over it, if you like. -- -D.We establised a fine coffee.
