Great, it works!I had a closer look at those emails who are still displayed wrong. I viewed them in firefox, and they still show the wrong chars. It seems they are not using a correct and consistent charset, so I will just forget about those.
still displayed with replacement chars for german umlauts (ae,oe,ue)What replacement chars? What is your font? What happens if in cmd.exe window you choose Lucida Console font, then type "chcp 1252", and "mutt -e 'set charset=cp1252'"? Do you see ümläüts and ¤uro? Bye! Alain.
I will du further testing on Euro with cp1252 as soon as my time permits. I cannot enter the Euro-¤ in mutt.
Thank you very much for your help! Robert
