Description Drake Wyrm 2009-09-10 23:37:39 UTC

After an upgrade to mail-client/mutt-1.5.20-r4, I noticed problems in regex matching when using UTF-8. Specifically, most named character classes (e.g. [[:alpha:]]) fail to match when mutt is started with `LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 mutt`, but match correctly when mutt is started with `LC_ALL=C mutt`. I have noticed this failure to match in the mail reader's search search function and in attempting to match email with the save-hook command in configuration files.

The problem also exists in mail-client/mutt-1.5.20-r5, but does not exist with mail-client/mutt-1.5.16 or mail-client/mutt-1.5.19-r1.

just for sure, can you paste your mutt -v output?

I think this is libc related, not much mutt can do about it.
