> How does mutt set about deciding what charset header to add?
Like this: mutt assumes that the file output by your editor conforms
to $attach_charset. It then uses iconv to convert that character set
into one of the character sets listed in $send_charset (the reason
being that if you aren't using anything other than us-ascii, it's
better to send the email identified as us-ascii, and the same is true
of other, more common character sets). The iconv library can report
whether a conversion is flawless or not, and so mutt uses the first
character set in $send_charset to which your file can be converted
flawlessly.
With the default $send_charset setting, if your file is all ascii
characters, mutt will send the message as us-ascii. If you have
something unusual, like an a-grave (á), mutt will use iso-8859-1. If
you have something even more unusual, like a euro symbol (€), mutt
will use utf-8.
Does that make sense?
