$charset is "utf-8" but not set in my .muttrc $send_charset is .muttrc as "us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:utf-8" FWIW I am using debian's 1.5.23 package. After further tests I noticed that when I reply only to the inline text part: I 1 <no description> [text/plain, 8bit, utf-8, 0.1K] A 2 plan_IT_2014.pdf [applica/pdf, base64, 206K] by tagging it and typing ;r then all is well. Hmmmm... [5 minutes later] Ahhh, now I get it (sorta): replying to the whole message includes in the quoted text the output of "pdftotext -enc Latin1 plan_IT_2014.pdf" (as per my ~/.mailcap). When I remove "-enc Latin1" all is well. So mutt/vim are confused because the ouput is mixed latin1/uft8, right? Thanks guys for your help and ideas,
