It shouldn't work, but it could, under certain circumstances... though I'm not quite sure _precisely_ what those are. I experienced this when I was first trying to get Korean support working... I think what was going on in that case was that the mail was incorrectly labeled as us-ascii (or possibly iso-8859-1), and mutt dumped the characters to the terminal as-is, and it just so happened that my terminal (at the time, hanterm) recognized certain "ascii" character sequences as Korean characters (in EUC-KR encoding, which was how the mail *should* have been labeled). But that was a long time ago, and I have long since switched to a UTF-8 setup, so really I am just guessing. ;-) -- Derek D.
