    That's fully right. But before degrading to one of $send_charset,
Mutt must know which is the origin on-disk charset:

 - For text files you attach, it's the first good of $file_charset if
defined. Otherwise it's $charset.

 - For text you compose and save, it's $charset.

    IINM Kurt doesn't question the $send_charset downgrading, but the
Mutt <=> editor fixed interfacing.


Bye!    Alain.
