Description Alexandru Scvortov 2010-08-05 15:28:24 UTC

The mutt in portage uses ncurses by default.  This is enabled by passing the --with-curses flag to ./configure.  An alternative would be to use slang (enabled by --with-slang).

This is a problem for people who use Konsole (which seems to muck up special characters when the terminal encoding and LC_ALL are both set to utf-8).

Using slang instead of curses solves the problem for me.

Reproducible: Always

Never mind.  Konsole still broken displaying utf-8 special chars with slang.
