s/display/use/. It's already proved broken. Why do you want to
submit a patch to Mutt for this issue? Answer: Because your
configuration is broken, and you like it that way. Instead of fixing
it the right way, you are stubbornly clinging to the idea that
software that doesn't work the broken way you want it to should be
hacked to be broken so your ridiculous configuration will work.
Instead of switching to applications that work when the ones you
prefer don't, make other apps that do work correctly broken, so that
you don't have to do the right thing. How can you not see that this
approach to the problem is asinine? This is precisely what led to the
creation of Unicode in the first place!
<sarcasm mode="heavy">
Your logic seems to be that, even though there already exists an
elegant solution to your problem, it's better to hack every
application in the known universe to be able to funnel data to
arbitrary applications in arbitrary encodings which your system is not
configured to use, because doing it the right way might force you to
learn something new, or *worse yet* prove conclusively that you've
been wrong all along about things being broken after all. And we
can't have that now, can we?
