good catch. I will add thich check in a few hours. When HAVE_LANGINFO is
1 the header contains the the string returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET)
and on cache hit it is verified that it is for the right locale.

right. So now that I have the timestamps in the cache entries. How about
a vacuum routine that cleans the cache entry if it gets older than a
userdefined value or a day, week whatever.
Is there any routine that is called when mutt has nothing todo? So that
I can traverse the cache and kick out old keys?

Do you have an idea which values have to be UTF-8? However I don't like
the idea because it makes it hard to maintain.
