I run mutt on both my Debian Linux boxes and my MacOS X boxes. I've been keeping mutt in uxterm's of late, because I get a sufficient amount of mail containing fun characters (like curly quotes or umlauts) that it's worth it to me. There is one downside on Macs that I haven't quite figured out---perhaps the members of this mailing list can help? The problem I face is with the thread display---when I sort by thread, I get the usual display of responses to a message underneath with the symbols and everything. On my Linux boxes, mutt uses line-drawing characters within a uxterm, and everything is good and groovy. On my MacOS X boxes, however, if I try to use line-drawing characters within a uxterm, I get garbage instead, and am forced to set ascii_chars="yes" in order to make the thing useable. Now, I know it's not a fonts issue or something like that, because I can :set charset="iso-8895-1" and presto, my threads appear correctly. Aside from a 'set ascii_chars="yes"' on the MacOS boxes, all systems are using the same configuration (which I can post if it would help). This happens with the (unpatched) version of Mutt in CVS (checked out just now, and tested), as well as 1.5.6i with several patches. Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated. ~Kyle -- The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. -- Albert Einstein
