Even so, as Tamotsu said in
<20031212032727.GA94585%tamo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, there's a patch available
for Debian's main mutt version (if you discount all those patches). I
had made something that patched cleanly against
mutt-1.5.4+20031024.tar.gz (original upstream source inside the Debian
package), but forgot to apply all of those patches before trying out
1.5.4i-ja.1.
Do you want me to do it? I'm inclined to do this on my own anyway,
since it's annoying me too much and I don't want to "just go back to
ISO-8859-1", you know. Can't we include the patch in Debian's version?
