Yes, very interesting: The $editor_charset wishlist #433/#1317.
Would also permit things like on Win32 using Mutt in a console in OEM
charset, while using Notepad as editor in ANSI charset (or UCS-2 where
available). Slrn permits that thru $editor_uses_mime_charset variable,
in some limited way.
I'm not aware of a solution: Workarounds provided in #433 are highly
suboptimal.
