Thanks for the info on RFC2047. However, I'd like to believe that this is not the cause of the problem. I may not have stressed enough the first time, that the problematic characters are garbled to what you see in the subject line _as I type them_. So I see the subject in its 'final form' immediately. Also, when I reply to a mail containing ä, ö et al in the subject, and do not erase those characters, they get sent away just fine. So I'm thinking this is an input problem of mutt -- actually, I just noticed that it is present in each and every input request mutt makes. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
