Sorry, it's running on GNU/Linux, no platform :-) <Home made.> Ncurses version 5.2. I really don't know anything about locale, I simply run the machine at UCT, and always compile with --disable-nls, because I only use US_English settings. If it's relevant I also have -LOCALES_HACK. Also I never had this problem running Mutt 1.2.25i, it's only since running 1.3.27i that it's started <although my libc was upgraded about the same time.> Tab expansion? Sorry, I don't follow. How could I check? Thanks for your reply, if you have any other thoughts <or need any more info.> I'd be happy to hear them. Ta, jmc.
