No charset conversion when printing

[Lupe Christoph]

Binary package hint: mutt

mutt does no character set conversion when passing a mail to the print command. A normal print command is not prepared to do its own charset detection and conversion.

For example, try to print the attached file with muttprint in a UTF-8 environment. Printing from mutt and from the command line produces the same error. Filtering the file through iconv like this makes muttprint work: iconv --from-code=iso8859-1 --to-code=utf-8

This conversion has to be done by mutt because it knows the charset.
