Guys,
This is one of the I've-been-meaning-to-ask questions;
but other things keep happening that took precedence. Now
it's time to ask what are the voodoo commands to set up in my
~/.zshrc or other initiation files (probably including my muttrc)
that will let me print to stdout, characters like the "e-aigu"
or "u-umlaut" and the currency pound or Euro?
I keep running into '\240' characters that are likely M$ format
commands. Catting a saved file thru Giorgos sed
's/[^[:print:]]/*/g' {or whatever} resolved that --and other
such. But it isn't my main gripe.
I realize this is probably a complex issue; it's time to work on
a reasonable solution.
thanks in advance for all insights,
gary
