i use: text/html; elinks -dump -eval "set document.codepage.assume = %{charset}" %s; copiousoutput if your system is set up properly, there should be no need to specify -dump-charset, elinks should use the proper charset for your terminal. it is IME necessary to tell elinks about the encoding of the mail it has to process, which mutt stores in the variable charset. elinks doesn't have a proper command line switch to specify the document codepage, but the above trick works.
