Is the default coding system in Mutt determined by how I have set up locales in debian ? I have got a standard "C" locale and put charset="ISO-8859-1" in .muttrc but Mutt does not display accented characters, unless I set: $ export LANG="it_IT" before running Mutt. Is there a way to have in Mutt a charset independent of locale setting? Saluti, Mauro. -- On this laptop no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED. GnuPG key ID: 28A61681
