So... I have gotten a few messages (e.g. several from the Bugtraq mailing list) that don't seem to show up right (they have some accented characters), and make mutt choke when displaying them in the file index (blank blocks). I've tried other mailers (e.g. Apple Mail) which seem to be able to display the From bits "right" (I think). An example (from Bugtraq) is in a tar'd Maildir here: http://www.memoryhole.net/~kyle/demomail.tar.bz2 I presume this can be fixed in mutt with something involving $assumed_charset, $charset, or something like that. Could someone take a look and tell me what works for them? (If it helps, I currently have the default $assumed_charset and $charset is set to "utf-8", to go with my uxterm.)

Obviously I've never received a message like that, or my script would
already handle it.

It would be nice. I tried, as Michael Tatge suggested, just copying the
message to Mozilla's Inbox. I also started Mozilla mail from the macro. That
worked, so far as I could then click on Inbox and then click on the message
and be able to read it. But that's two clicks too many for me, and there's
the added problem that any links I follow are then opened in Mozilla's
browser, when I'd prefer Galeon. So, I'll stick with my script for a while
longer.
