character encoding
People I'm sending mail to thses days are complaing about my strange
character encoding, they say.
For one I'm writing short mails using the unix /bin/mail program
and since the german umlauts and sz are displayed in my term (xterm)
ae,oe,ue,Ae,Oe,Ue, sz by the codes 228,246,252,196,214,220,223 respectively
I'm inserting them into the mail text which I edit using vi (either mutt
leads me into vi or I escape into it from the /bin/mail by typing ~v.
Recipients of my mail text may then be unable to read my Umlauts etc.
Now my question: How can this be solved it mutt?
Can I pipe my edited text through some conversion program (iconv) and tell
mutt to change the mail headers accordingly?
