That doesn't explain why I can invoke sendmail directly and it works. Unless I'm missing a huge clue which nobody is making clear, mutt must be invoking sendmail in a way which tells it to convert to QP as soon as it receives a £ or something. See the example I used in my original email. > So it seems your machine won't allow 8bit out, while mine won't allow > qp in. But it *does*, that's why I'm confused.
