 Package: mutt

 Subject: mutt: no charset conversion when [e]diting an email

 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,
 -- Shot (Piotr Szotkowski)
