I find I still have three problems:
1) If I drop the LC_TYPE line, then I cannot read eamils with UTF-8.
(This really isn't a problem, just an observation.)
2) When I reply to emails that are in utf-8, mutt sets the encoding as
latin1.
3) If I forward an email to myself that is utf-8, the characters come
out funny. For example, you (or was it someone else) posted an email
with the unicode star. This appears as a star in my email. I forward
the emails to myself, and make sure I send it as utf-8, 8-bit. (I have
to do the utf-8 part manually.) I get the email and open it up, and it
appears as a funny character followed by \202 or some other number.
If I opened up this email in a unicode-aware editor and copied and
pasted the multi-byte sequence to a test web-page, and then opened
that web-page in a browser, then I would see the star again. If I sent
the email to you, you would see it as a star. (I tried both of these
tests.)
Thanks
