Much thanks! I tried it, and the practice met the theory: Vincent's
example "From:" with $assumed_charset=us-ascii is masked exactly as
expected. Masked by question marks on any $charset terminals, or by
replacement chars U+FFFD on UTF-8 terms. Display and layout are not
anymore corrupted.
Just to repeat: I think the assumed_charset patch should be
committed. It's both a great feature, and a fix for such screen layout
breakage (unavoidable in straight Mutt). It enhances the fine control
the user has on what's shown him. That's the sort of feature Mutt needs,
and should like. And I see not a single valid argument against it.
Bye! Alain.
