The correct way to write it is "de_DE.UTF-8". This might well be the source of your troubles. > LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8" > LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 ^^ See it mixed here? > Also I have a charset configuration in my .muttrc: > set charset="utf-8" You shouldn't "force" charcsets through .muttrc. Mutt should be able to autodetect that from your environment, if it's set up correctly. > Have anyone any good idea for me? In the terminal in which you'd normally run mutt, type 'locale charmap' and see if it returns 'UTF-8'. If it doesn't, your environment isn't set up correctly and you should work on that (/etc/default/locale, locale-gen, etc. etc.) HTH, -Sander. -- | Only users lose drugs. | 4096R/20CC6CD2 - 6D40 1A20 B9AA 87D4 84C7 FBD6 F3A9 9442 20CC 6CD2
