Re: bug#1660: Repyling with extended charactors in the From:



FWIW, I'm observing the same problems on a SuSE 8.1 machine myself,
but couldn't track it down so far.  No problems with the Debian or
RedHat installations I normally use.

Interestingly, on the SuSE machine my editor (jed) also has problems
with Umlauts, which makes me suspect that this is some configuration
problem, and *not* a mutt bug.
