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.
