I have -LOCALES_HACK, I'll try what you say. Mutt aside, I've dropped out of X to type this. I'm in Nano and will press F5 to insert a file containing the 1/2 character and uppercase-accent-E: [begin] ½É [end] When I do the same action from within gnome-terminal in X, I see ?? instead of the charcters. How can I overcome that? AFAIK these are upper-ASCII, not UTF, chars. I cannot paste these upper-ascii characters into gnome-terminal, but they seem to work fine in Kate, gedit, and Mozilla. ?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
