Hello,

Thanks for explanations!

I tried another build and found that my switches revealed more problems that i
want to gnaw on for a while.

This is particularly disturbing because my Mutt-1.20. hat great problems
displaying numerous characters (such as the lines showing the threads and
german umlauts etc.) But ":set ?charset" renders "utf-8". 

Since i also have strange encoding behaviour in Mutt-1.18. (i may not use
german umlauts in muttrc else running into trouble) i hope to find a common
root to these issues.

I will report back when/if i find out more.

greetings
