hi,

thanks for all replies regarding pop password forgetting. i understand the necessity 
of using fetchmail, and i plan to switch to it later. currently i implement 
quick-and-dirty solution, which is to set pop_pass to a dummy value and then unsetting 
it.

now i've got another problem. i'm using iso-8859-9 and koi8-r simultaneously. the same 
folder can contain messages with both encodings. i switch between encodings using 
macros. this includes font and keyboard layout switching.

1. if my current charset is iso-8859-9, mutt renders subjects written in koi8-r so 
that they are readable using that charset (e.g., russian characters are translated 
into english ones). this is a Good Thing. if i change font/charset, message subjects 
continue to be rendered as before -- transliterated -- although charset (and font) are 
now suitable for displaying "natively" (in koi8-r). ^L doesn't change that, i have to 
change the folder to itself to make mutt discard cached rendering style (based on 
previous charset). what is the proper way to achieve that?

2. can we specify multiple translation maps? or should i change the source? as far as 
i can see, the mapping is one-to-one, i.e. single russian character must be mapped 
into a single english character. this produces disgusting output -- for example, 
russian "ya" is mapped to "j", etc. i'm very used to good old koi-7, although some may 
find it unreadable. so i'm looking for a way to replace current mapping scheme, be it 
multiple translation maps or replacing the default map. any ideas?

thanks in advance,
baurjan.
