Re: wrong charset

[Jussi Peltola <pelzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use mutt on a Nokia N810 over ssh. The xterm in mine, having selected
English as the language in the GUI and not having fiddled with locales
manually, uses UTF-8. The locales provided with the machine are named
fi_FI, en_GB, etc. but they still seem to use UTF-8 - try grep UTF-8
/usr/share/locale-archive.

Some terminals silently switch to ISO-8859-1 if you print something that
isn't valid UTF-8, requiring you to restart them to get back to UTF-8.
That, combined with a signature, motd, etc. in ISO-8859-1 can be very
confusing.

Remember that you can't change the xterm's locale with .profile, that
will only change the locale within the shell the xterm runs, not in the
xterm's environment itself.

BTW, where did you get a maemo binary of mutt?
