Mutt

Prerequisites
- Make sure that the imap USE flag is set!

Installation

 * 1) emerge mutt

Configuration
Problem: mutt charset is UTF-8, but danish letters are displayed like '\345' Cause: This can have two causes: your .mailcap does not handle ISO-8859-1, and/or no charset is specified in the mail header. Solution: The following entry to .mailcap handles ISO-8859-1 by converting it to UTF-8, and defaulting to plain 'cat' if not ISO-8859-1: text/plain; iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 %s; \ test=test "`echo %{charset} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`" = iso-8859-1; \ copiousoutput text/plain; cat -s; copiousoutput When charset is not specified in the mail header, we could just assume ISO-8859-1. Edit .mutt/muttrc: set assumed_charset="iso-8859-1"
