Package: mutt Version: 1.5.6-20040907+3 Severity: important
When mutt linked with libncurses(w), it cannot display some cjk characters correctly(ex. traditional Chinese characters in GBK locale). The bug comes from the ncurses library, which always 'unctrl' these characters(from ascii code 128 to 160) to '~X' form. These causes letters from traditional Chinese users completely unreadable. While it works fine with the slang library. So please consider build mutt with slang. Thanks in advance. screenshots: http://gnor.net/~roger/files/mutt-ncurses.png http://gnor.net/~roger/files/mutt-slang.png BTW: It is suggested to link with slang for better cjk handling on mutt wiki: "(This displays CJK chars more correctly than ncursesw.)" http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttFaq/Charset -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-rc4 Locale: LANG=zh_CN.GBK, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GBK (charmap=GBK) (ignored: LC_ALL set to zh_CN.GBK) Versions of packages mutt depends on: ii exim [mail-transport-agent] 3.36-14 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent) ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libidn11 0.5.13-1.0 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libncursesw5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
