Hello, Thanks for explanations!
I tried another build and found that my switches revealed more problems that i want to gnaw on for a while. > >+HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET > > Literally, this means that your system has the langinfo.h header and > the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function is available as well.

This is particularly disturbing because my Mutt-1.20. hat great problems displaying numerous characters (such as the lines showing the threads and german umlauts etc.) But ":set ?charset" renders "utf-8". Since i also have strange encoding behaviour in Mutt-1.18. (i may not use german umlauts in muttrc else running into trouble) i hope to find a common root to these issues. I will report back when/if i find out more. greetings jan
