[Mutt] #3471: utf-8 not detected
#3471: utf-8 not detected
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: killasmurf86 | Owner: mutt-dev
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.20
Keywords: utf-8 |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
I wanted to setup random signature with custom fortunes (using fortune),
the problem was that mutt was treating my native characters as binary data
and converted them to escape sequiences...
My localization environment
LC_COLLATE=lv_LV.UTF-8
LC_TIME=lv_LV.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=lv_LV.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=lv_LV.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=lv_LV.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
(Don't ask, why I mix them, I need to)
I fixed problem by setting
set charset = "utf-8"
however, I think mutt should auto-detect that and manual says just that:
