hi all, Occasionally I get unreadable emails from a friend who works at 3M. Here are some possibly relevant headers from such an email: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.57 on 192.28.4.40 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from base64 to 8bit by myhost.worldcycling.com id k9JIJJYs006908 I am running mutt 1.5.12 compiled from source, ncurses 5.5-19, procmail 3.22-16.2.1. All my locale variables are set to en_US.UTF-8. The emails have just one MIME part; the headers are legible, the content is illegible...just some apparently random characters. What am I missing? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Linabery B94B C3C7 8A27 FF09 3C9D E992 5A20 2492 D5F5 EE51
