[graphic versus ascii thread tree] > If under cygwin, force mutt to run under code page 437 Could you please elaborate this one? I was never able to get Latin-1 characters *and* graphic tree at the same time under Cygwin. I was getting bad charset and nice tree with older Cygwin versions, and now with recent Cygwin install I get nice charset but wrong tree... and am forced to set ascii_chars. Now I don't know how to set CP437? I use mutt in 3 ways: - locally on Cygwin, Mutt.exe started from Bash.exe (itself in a Win2k cmd.exe console window). Good charset, but wrong tree. - running remotely on a Linux box, Mutt started from Cygwin thru it's own /bin/telnet.exe (again in a Bash session inside a cmd.exe window). Same thing: Nice charset, bad trees. Note I had to copy Cygwin's terminfo definition file to the Linux disk for this to work at all. - locally on the Linux box, from the local Linux console. Nice charset, nice threads. :-) > Set ascii_chars in your muttrc, so mutt uses +, - and > to draw the > tree. I've set in muttrc: set ascii_chars=`if [ "$TERM" = "cygwin" ] ; then echo yes ; else echo no ; fi` So I automatically have best or less bad trees, depending on the terminal I'm looking from. Bye!
