Hi, I'm just joined the discussion, so maybe I'm missing something, but
this is a very important issue for me. I'm using Solaris 2.5.1 but I can't
see correctly Spanish characters. Mutt is version 0.95.1i
I've never played with Locale values but these are by default:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
What could be done to see those characters in the pager?
Thank you very much.
