So you have trouble composing - not reading - a message?

No, both.


Composing a message is done as following:
1) Mutt gives a template (in $charset) to $editor
2) $editor returns the file (in $charset) to mutt
3) Mutt converts the file to $send_charset and sends it out

Now, 1) and 2) should be OK because your VIM worked OK. (Please press <enter> in the compose menu to review your
message. Does it show the chars correctly?)

No, question marks only


And your $charset is the same as your Content-Type:charset.
So 3) does nothing. No conversion, no problem.

Well, I feel lost. Could you show your
iconv-hook, charset-hook, attach_charset, and send_charset?

Yeah babe, I've had:

iconv-hook ISO-8859-1 ANSI_X3.4-1968

for an uncommented reason. Unset solved the prob ;)

For a test:
ae ä
ue ü
oe ö
sz ß

Thanks
