Poor indeed, but not non-existent. I do not dare posting an e-mail with attached images there, but Emacs running VM within sakura displays poorly (mangled and dotted) the "ഖി" gliph (Emacs running within X does it fine - to someone that does not know the alphabet the gliphs look fine). rxvt-unicode was disappointing. Mutt running within an Emacs X frame and ansi-term gave mixed results: When entering "അഖിൽ കൃഷ്ണൻ എസ്" within the e-mail address I got some numeric escapes (\uXXXX) but that was in an Emacs mini-buffer. When I entered the same string in the e-mail body -this time into the ansi-term buffer- the string was displayed correctly. A solution could be to use mutt within Emacs using ansi-term :) -- /\ ___ Ubuntu: ancient /___/\_|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____ African word //--\| | \| | Integralista GNUslamico meaning "I can \/ coltivatore diretto di software not install già sistemista a tempo (altrui) perso...
