With respect to the request to make MS#### an alias for CP####, I request that you not do that. The only character sets that mutt should recognize are those specified at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>. The character set in question, CP950, is not present in that list, nor is its purported alias, MS950. The only such pair present is CP936/MS936.
In general, we should not be encouraging the use of obsolete national character sets, obsolete vendor-specific character sets, or non-standard extensions to the already enormous IANA character set list. It's not like it's hard to register a character set with IANA. Furthermore, there is a simple method to solve this problem: charset-hook. Even if the submitter needs to exchange data with people whose mailers are broken (and who refuse to fix them), he can do it simply in his own configuration. There is no need to change the Debian package (nor upstream mutt) for this. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
