It worked for me as well! I've been struggling with getting Irish language text to display properly. Rather than showing αινσσ, I was seeing \### where ### seemed to be some encoding value rather than the character. Woo hoo! =) Now, for the next question: how to I tell mutt and tin to display the extended characters? I can more my email archives and see the accented characters, but when I try to read them with mutt, they're still be displayed with the above encoding instead... -- Darryl L.
