When I compose an email (using vi under ubuntu), and send that email,
the recipients tell me
that the umlauts are fine. But when I reply - in the course of follwups
- to that email (that has made
one turn-around), the umlauts come out garbled. Newly typed umlauts seem
to be ok. Excerpt of my .muttrc:
(it's a different mail account, not this one).
Ask you can see, I commented out already charset definitions. Maybe I
enable them again?
