Perhaps nmzmail is worth a try: http://flpsed.org/nmzmail.html Disclaimer: I haven't used it myself (yet), so I can't guarantee that it works with other charsets as ascii, but I assume so as the underlying search engine is of Japanese origin: http://www.namazu.org/ c -- Was hei�t hier Dogma, ich bin Underdogma!

Of course. It's only a workaround which happens to cover most of my personal use cases. nmzmail might be better suited for you, but it has other shortcomings, like lack of thread retrieval (something I really like with mairix). So, for me, it's at least better than nothing. I asked on the mairix-users list, and it doesn't look like something like you wish for is going to implemented anytime soon. c -- Was hei�t hier Dogma, ich bin Underdogma!
