This is not the best way to get this info, FWIW.

I suggest you make sure they're not set, to make sure your environment is working correctly. > > charset-hook ^unknown-8bit$ WINDOWS-1252 > > charset-hook ^x-user-defined$ WINDOWS-1252 > > charset-hook ^ISO-8859-1$ WINDOWS-1252 > > charset-hook ^US-ASCII$ WINDOWS-1252 > > charset-hook ^none$ WINDOWS-1252 > > charset-hook ^ISO-8859-8-1$ ISO-8859-8 > > charset-hook ^GB2312$ GB18030 It shouldn't matter, but for the next tests, try commenting these out. > > Output of mutt -v is: > > Mutt 1.4.2.3i (2007-05-26) As I've already suggested, at least if we don't get you fixed with this version, you should really consider getting the latest (1.5.21) and compiling from scratch. It's not that hard, and it may contain bug fixes that eliminate your issues.

It's not hopeless, but it's hard to guess how to help you from here. I know you may have answered some of these questions already, but it might be helpful to get the answers to all of the following questions in one place, to compare the different settings (and I've lost the beginning of the thread). So, if you still want help, please provide the answers/output to all of the following: What is the output of 'locale -a |grep "$LANG"' (without the single quotes) on your system? What is the output of 'locale' (without the single quotes) on your system? What is the output of 'locale' FROM WITHIN MUTT (press '!' to ask mutt for a shell prompt, then type locale<enter>)? What terminal emulator are you using? How do you start the terminal emulator you're running Mutt in (i.e. do you start it manually from the command line, or are you clicking an icon in your desktop environment)? If the answer to the previous question was by clicking on an icon, did you try starting your terminal emulator from the command line, where you know your locale is set correctly? (If not, do so.) What font is your emulator using, and how is it configured/selected? What is the output of 'ldd `which mutt`' on your system? Can you resend a sample e-mail that doesn't display correctly in the pager? (I want to hex dump it to look at the raw bytes.) -- Derek D.
