Incoming from Andreas Hanke: > Good morning together, Buenos dias! Que pasa?
> and thanks a lot for the lot of replies! This's always been a great list. I can't really offer much help on your specific problem other than to tell you what's working here and how, and offering suggestions. This's Debian "testing"/wheezy, so should be roughly equivalent (upstream) to your Ubuntu (I think): ------------------------------ (1) infidel /home/keeling_ locale LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_CA:en LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ------------------------------ > I try to give the feedback to several questions/ideas: > > 1.) 10 minutes ago I try to recompile my mutt, to make sure that the I'm impressed, but I have to say I've never had any need to "roll my own" mutt. I doubt that Ubuntu/Canonical have done anything wrong in their build. > 2.)

I checked with aptitude the "libncurses5" and "libncursesw5" -> > both is installed True here as well. So, now I'm down to just offering sugestions: i) Try other terminal emulators. I use "uxterm" with mutt. Some terminal emulators just don't do utf-8. ii) Can you use emacs? It has no problems with utf-8 (though I doubt vim does either). set editor="/usr/bin/emacs '%s'" iii) Re-describe the problem in your eyes now that you've expended all this effort learning about it? Have fun. :-) Bon chance. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. (*) :(){ :|:& };: - -
