Hi, Don't know where to go to first with this problem, so y'all please be my victim ;)
I run mutt in a gnome-terminal. I use LC_CTYPE=en_US, so defined in .bashrc. So far so good. I also have a shortcut aka launcher with a nice mutt icon that starts a gnome-terminal with a larger than default geometry and --command mutt. When launched this way mutt does not show any special (i.e. accented) chars). When I run the shell command locale from within mutt my LC_CTYPE is empty. The funny thing is when I remove the --command parm from the launcher and then start mutt manually, LC_CTYPE is defined correctly as are the special characters. Basically mutt works like I want in every situation I can imagine, except when launched from the desktop with my handy-dandy mutt-icon. I don't know if the --command option for gnome-terminal causes a different environment to be set. And if so if it's a feature or a bug. After searching faqs, checking manuals and browsing bugzillas, I give up. Would some kind soul shed some light on my frustrating situation? Bob
