Yep. I don't see how someone could think that having my display
broken is not my problem. Sure, it's the other party's fault, but
that's it.
That said, I've just had a look at the mutt docs (FAQ+manual), and
looks like this isn't mentioned. Does every user of mutt have to
reinvent the wheel? Or does everybody just bite the bullet?
Also, it occured to me that I could probably use message-hook to
identify Outlook messages and override the charset. Would this work?
Does anyone use it?
