Hi,
I'm having trouble getting my display filter to convert smart quotes
to ordinary quotes on mail coming from Apple Mail.
this is the content-type of the mail:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed
quote marks display as a '?'.
my display filter might be: "tr \\\\222 \\\\047"
This normally works with stuff from outlook & friends, but does not
seem to translate the mails from Apple Mail.
However,
If I view the message attachments, then pipe the text/plain message
body through "tr \\222 \\047" quotes are correctly translated.
this is my .muttrc line (line broken here for readability):
message-hook
"~h 'X-Mailer: Apple Mail'"
"set display_filter='tr \\\\222 \\\\047'"
(btw - something like "tr \\\\143 \\\\103" (ie tr c C) works fine.)
(also the number of backslashes to include seems to be a bit of a
black art to me - I'm really going on trial and error - 4 seems to
work best in .muttrc...)
Does anyone know why I can't get these quotes to work in mutt's pager?
cheers
dc
