    Inline PGP encrypted mail written in Latin-9, and labelled Latin-9:
Fine. But for Mutt, this is like the square root of a negative: It is
not supposed to exist.

    Fortunately Tamotsu wrote a patch permitting to read this: Apply his
latest patch-1.5.*.tamo.pgp_charsethack.1, and set $pgp_charsethack=yes.
You'll get the ä.


    What bugs me is why characters considered invalid are not ?-masked,
but eaten. And why straight Mutt doesn't label UTF-8 the mails it sends
in forced UTF-8 (this could help the receiving mailer).


Bye!    Alain.
