Liam happened to complain about how the discussion about non-ASCII
characters was giving him lots of ?s in mutt, whereupon someone (Kate ? -
I've deleted the mail) said that he should have set charset=iso-8859-1 in
his .muttrc. Well, I've got that in my .muttrc and I still don't see e.g. £
symbols in mutt but I do see them when editing a message (I use jed from
mutt). I have tried with and without set allow_8bit with the same results.
I can see the symbols in less (LESSCHARSET=latin1) and when I cat the file,
but no joy in mutt's pager - any ideas ?
Regards,
Niall
