The third word in the second line contains a character which is not present in the character set used to encode this message, or it contains one which can not be translated to UTF-8. I checked the charset of the message, and it was listed as: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 What's the value of send_charset? Whatever the case, you seem to have a charset mismatch somewhere between your terminal, your editor, and mutt. Your locale settings seem fine, which suggests to me that maybe your send_charset does not include a character set which contains the characters you need... But I think there are still other possibilities too. -- Derek D. Martin http://www.pizzashack.org/ GPG Key ID: 0xDFBEAD02 -=-=-=-=- This message is posted from an invalid address.
