Hilko Bengen is possibly sometimes a bit difficult to get on. If i read the bugs' thread, he referred to sendcharsets= as the target character set, and this is correct. What we need to know to get your (former) problem right is the input / source character set. So as long as your locale (man 7 locale) states the correct character set (for example doing "export LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8" in the shell, before starting this MUA, for example), or you set the ttycharset variable directly (it is normally derived from the user's locale), this should just work. (Iff conversion to sendcharsets= is possible, iff that is necessary.) This is true for all programs which adhere to locale(7). (Note this MUA now supports a mime-force-sendout variable which can be used to enforce sending out data, even if character set conversion fails. For unattended usage on systems which may generate logs in whatever encoding.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
