Dear all,

I want to suggest to whoever is currently maintaining the mutt package
;-) to compile it with --enable-locales-fix in the future. Since locale
support is broken in cygwin anyway (at least the LC_CTYPE part) it does
not make sense for mutt to rely on it. If it is compiled with the above
option it should at least work for people using iso-8859-1.

And if full locale support really exists in cygwin then please educate
me how to set up my environment so that the isprint() function
recognizes characters > 127. I have exhausted all net.resources on this
topic and tried all suggested combinations but to no avail. I managed to
compile my own mutt and it now displays my German umlaut characters but
I trust you people more than myself. 8-]

TIA and best regards
Jerry
