Hello, 'scuse me, this is irritating me too much at the moment. I did some research to find it out myself, but clearly didn't look in the right places, while I can continue looking, maybe someone can save me time during my test week and just point in the right direction?
I am trying to figure out the LOCALE stuff and character set settings. Where can I find out what and how to setup my locale (does that include language settings etc.)? Secondly, how does one control the character set? I assume it defaults to an iso-8859-1 character set? I have tried setting mutt's "$charset" to iso-8859-1, but an email with: Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-1 and an e^ (ê) comes out as "\352". (What is 352 anyway? Should be one byte? So what, octal?) The "source" of the email is encoded as "=EA", this is as I remember it from my pine days, and it did work well in pine. (I set my charset to iso-8859-1 as well, iirc.) Thanks to anyone that can shed light on this topic during these bleak hours, Hugo van der Merwe -- To send me private (non-world-readable) mail, GPG encrypt it. 1024D/60715698: 5F2E 8EC2 E0A4 5D25 0569 F281 4A6C D76D 6071 5698
