On the other hand, the question is what to do when all charsets in $send_charset fail and $charset does not match an officially assigned charset name, like in your case.

The options are 1) go ahead with a charset possibly not supported on the receiving side or 2) go ahead with a possible broken encoding in a valid charset.

There's also option 3) refuse to send the mail, and display an error message. I prefer this option. I don't like the idea of mutt being a potential source of bad email.

With messages created from scratch locally that could be an option (or at least issue a warning). But given you received a mail with a broken encoding already, 3) would mean you couldn't reply to it unless you manually fix the encoding.

I didn't look at the source yet to see if a prompt would be possible to choose between 2) and 3) though (for mailx mode, you wouldn't want to interrupt with a prompt).

  bye, Rocco
