Hello, it's quite natural that heading of a message be written in the same language as the message body. For that reason I often get letters with subject lines or "From" fields in Russian encoded in some encoding including codes for Cyrillic characters. But there is a problem handling such headers. Since there are lines in message headers specifying message body encoding, mutt can do (and it does!) right conversion to the display charset. But it does never convert header lines to match my terminal encoding and as a result I always get garbage on the screen instead of Cyrillic letters.
I wonder if the standards defining format of e-mail messages allow for
usage of non-ASCII characters in mail headers. If this is allowed, why
does mutt not support it? And if it is not, I think that it makes sense
to implement in mutt support for recoding from the headers encoding
(which in this case can, for example, be determined as encoding of the
body or of the first part in case of multipart message) to the one used
by the underlying terminal.
Yours sincerely, Andrey Urazov
