Thanks for the tips, but I have been unable to make it work. I installed rxvt-ml, rxvt-unicode-ml, mrxvt-cjk, kterm, and nothing. All of them are able to show correctlty 'cat'-ted files, for instance, but none of them works with mutt+Japanese mails. At least in kterm I found a way to make a pop-up menu appear, so I could change the encoding, but still no luck. I noticed, in the link you gave, that this guy not only calls a kanji enabled terminal, but a kanji enabled mutt, which I could not find in Debian. Calling "mrxvt -km eucj/sjis" doesn't help either. All this is very strange of course, as I had this working in sarge, and I recently tried successfully in Ubuntu, and I never needed anything else but some fonts, locales, and the usual mutt/jed/gnome-terminal. But if there's any other suggestion as to how to make this work in *any* terminal I would be more than grateful :-) Regards, Victor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
