Package: muttprint Version: 0.72d-5 Severity: normal
I am printing an eMail from mutt and muttprint croaks due to some illegal characters. (in mutt, it shows up as \223 (octal 223), which isn't valid utf-8 or 7-bit clean, as claimed by the email). While I agree that the email should be encoded properly, I don't think it's good for muttprint to croak on something like this. When using the undocumented (!) ICONV_EXTERNAL=yes settting, it takes forever to print, but printing proceeds (albeit with some warnings) It would be desirable if the built-in character conversion was more robust. Martin PS: some digging on the web seems to indicate that \223 is the opening double quote in the Windows-1252 Frankenstein code page, so this problem might be quite common -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages muttprint depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii libtext-iconv-perl 1.4-2 converts between character sets in ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii tetex-extra 3.0-13 Additional library files of teTeX Versions of packages muttprint recommends: ii emacs21 [mail-re 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor ii mailx [mail-read 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii mozilla-mailnews 2:1.7.12-1 The Mozilla Internet application s ii mutt [mail-reade 1.5.11-5 Text-based mailreader supporting M ii xemacs21-mule [m 21.4.18-3 highly customizable text editor -- -- debconf information: muttprint/moved_pics: muttprint/utf8: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
