Hi all, Thanks for this great email program. I have an issue when trying to send email. Mutt complain about "Bad IDN" as soon as I enter a recipient address in the TO: field
Error: 'albertahealthservices.ca' is a bad IDN. I have tried scouring the Internet and was not able to get a resolution. Please give me some pointers if you know what the issues are. Here are some information regarding my environment. # ldd /usr/local/bin/mutt /usr/local/bin/mutt: libncurses.so => /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libncurses.so libintl.so => /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libintl.so libidn.so => /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libidn.so libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1 libiconv.so => /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libiconv.so libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libdl.so.1 # swlist|grep -i -e ncurses -e libidn -e libiconv -e gettext gettext 0.18.1.1 gettext libiconv 1.13.1 libiconv libidn 1.15 libidn ncurses 5.7 ncurses # /usr/local/bin/mutt -v Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Michael R.
