I agree that my problem is probably input related. By your reply I presume that mutt uses readline for input; is this correct? Midnight Commander displays åäö correctly, but not the corresponding capital letters ÅÄÖ, which is confusing to say the least. Links works after switching to UTF-8 I/O and ISO 8859-1 character set (UTF-8 is not available?), although some symbols are not displayed, e.g. the euro currency symbol € is replaced by EUR -- but this is due to the symbol missing from the charset, I believe. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
