Hello.
I use mutt in an UTF-8 environment, but most of the mails I send and get
are encoded in ISO-8859-2, which mutt transparently recodes from/to
UTF-8 for sending/viewing. However, when I try to [e]dit an email in
a mailbox it doesn't get recoded to UTF-8, and vi is sent a "raw"
version, which, in the case of UTF-8, ends in a lot of illegal
characters.
I can see how this can be regarded as a feature rather than a bug; if it
is indeed a feature - is there a chance for another option which would
allow editing an email in a mailbox with recoding it to the current
locale beforehand? This one could work like the <Esc>e option, "use the
current message as a template for a new one", but would write back to
the mailbox instead of sending.
Cheers,
