Hello,
I am not quite sure what I did, but mutt does no longer display
German special characters äöüß (Umlaute).
I am using 1.0pre3i now and I think since switching from 0.9
this does not work any longer.
I have a SuSE Linux system (6.2). Interestingly ELM, that came
with the SuSE distribution does disply the Umlaut-characters correctly.
What can I do?
My locales:
LC_Collate, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME= de_De.88591
LC_MESSAGES, LC_RESPONSE = en_US.88591
LANG = POSIX
LC_TYPE=iso-8859-1
I attach my muttrc.
I would be happy for help as this worked not long ago and I have
no idea where to look.
Kind regards
Christian
