I'm not sure about that, and only followed Steve's example. But can
add two points:
Some rare combinations of characters that can be typed at an EUC-JP
terminal can't be converted to ISO-2022-JP. Like say a Kanji and a Latin
e acute U+00E9 in the same mail. So in $send_charset Mutt can only
select EUC-JP or UTF-8. Now I don't know which one gives less problems.

Are you sure? Correctly labelled EUC-JP mail should be viewable in
most modern mailers, as soon as terminal is capable. A quick check with
Mutt (on UTF-8) and MSOE seems to confirm it's OK: The three attachments
look exactly the same.
Bye! Alain.

When you post a new message, beginning a new topic, use the "mail" or
"post" or "new message" functions.
When you reply or followup, use the "reply" or "followup" functions.
Do not do the one for the other, this breaks or hijacks threads.
