UTF-8 issues
Hi folks,
I decided to jump on the UTF-8 bandwagon a few weeks ago and I'm having
some weird problems with messages that are sent without any kind of
indication that the message is ISO-8859-1 encoded (or worse, since a
Subject, for instance, should specify the encoding and the accents and
other special characters should be encoded, at least AFAIK).
Anyway, I can't change bad behaviour from everybody who does this,
including friends, automated mail from online stores, etc. etc.
There's something else that is weird; some messages, as shown in
mutt_utf8_msg.png (before) and mutt_utf8_msg.png (after) present on a
website I setup with screenshots of these annoyances
(http://carlos.sna.cx/mutt/) show that, somehow, just invoking edit-type
(bound to ^E here) with its default "text/plain" argument causes what
you saw change from the first to the second screen grab.
I run Debian GNU/Linux unstable, mutt-utf8 version 1.5.4+20031024-1 and
libncursesw5 5.3.20030719-4, which is the library that provides mutt
with the UTF-8 support, apparently.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!
