charset question



[Please CC me on replies. I am not subscribed. M-F-T set.]

Hi all,

I recently switched my systems to Unicode, which is lovely. However,
I can't quite get mutt configured correctly. I am using these
settings:

set charset = "utf-8"
set config_charset = "utf-8"
set assumed_charset = "utf-8:iso-8859-15:iso-8859-1:latin1:us-ascii"
set file_charset = "us-ascii:latin1:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:utf-8"
set send_charset = "us-ascii:latin1:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:utf-8"

which produces exactly the desired results for attachments, but not
for normal mail. If I send the message as an attachment,
$send_charset is properly used and the message will be sent with the
"lowest" possible charset specified in the MIME part header:
us-ascii, unless I use latin1 stuff, unless I use iso-8859-1 stuff,
unless...

However, when I send a message as a plain RFC822 message without
MIME, then the charset will always be set to utf-8, which is
suboptimal.

How can I get the same behaviour as with the attachments.
