Re: Subject charset issue (was: merging/linking tagged messages into thread: brilliant!)



Hi folks. My mutt is fixed (no more charset woes! yaay!), with many
thanks to Alain.

I thought I'd share my final muttrc, slightly trimmed for privacy....

cat muttrc |grep -v '^#'|grep -v '^alias' > muttrc-trimmed.txt

...was used to produce:

http://garp.metalab.unc.edu/muttrc-trimmed.txt

For you to look at. The most important settings to note included:

set config_charset="utf-8"
set envelope_from=yes
set from="cmpalmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
set realname="Cristóbal Palmer"
set use_from=yes

Thanks!

Cheers,
CMP
