What's the variable "charset" set to in you .muttrc? Does it reflect the locale your system is running?
My "charset" value is unset. And how do I check my locale? Is that in /etc/sysconfig/i18n?
[saturn]$ cat i18n LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
Then try setting
set charset="utf-8" in your .muttrc.
That didn't work. However, when I set charset="utf-8" in my .muttrc, and told Putty to use utf-8 encoding (change settings -> Window -> Translation; Received data assumed to be in which character set: UTF-8) it did work.
Is there a quick primer on charsets and encoding on the internet I can refer to so that I can learn about all this?
Thanks for your pointer getting me going in the right direction.
