Latin1 mail with umlauts and sz in sender's name mail body renders
fine here in mutt in xterm in the UTF-8 locale. So you should be
able to get it to work. I suspect misconfiguration rather than a bug,
though a bug is of course a possibility.
What does your local configuration look like?
Are you aware of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#locales ?
Yes, I've got "export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8" in my .xinitrc.
$ env | grep LC
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
$ locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
I've also tried different combinations of "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" and
"LANG=en_US.UTF-8" with no success.
Do you have any charset-related options in muttrc, like 'set charset'
or 'set assumed_charset'? Mutt should be able to auto-detect such
settings nowadays. Does adding 'set rfc2047_parameters=yes' help?
No, I haven't got any charset configuration in my muttrc configuration
file. Setting "rfc2047_parameters=yes" didn't change anything.
I've also made sure that mutt detects correctly the charset of the
locale by following command:
:set &charset ?charset
charset="utf-8"
If none of this helps, can you (privately) forward or bounce mail
to me that fails to display correctly?
Sure, I'll send a couple of emails to you shortly.
Thanks for your help, Stefan!
