My mail reader (Eudora) barfs on anything non-ASCII, including UTF8.
I'd be interested in any suggestions for simple email readers that do UTF-8, but nothing more complicated. Things like Thunderbird are to bloated.
Try mutt, I still have to see anything near as good as mutt, except...
Perhaps I should go back to Emacs for email reading?
That! I never mastered using it. Use it and totally be L337-o-saurus Rex.
I run pine, which is about as simple and primitive as you can get, and it displays utf8 just fine. I use it in gnome-terminal on my linux box at work and in the OS X Terminal program at home. I had to do a little configuration fiddling to get everyone to agree that utf8 was what we were all going to use, but it works well for me and gives me fairly good malware-proofing.
When I ask it what version it is, it says Alpine 2.03 (LRH 1266 2009-07-14) built Fri Dec 21 05:45:24 UTC 2012 on buildvm-31.phx2.fedoraproject.org
Try mutt! (I come from pine myself). Definitely use your favorite editor with it to compose mail (for favorite editor \in {emacs, vi}).
-- Tom Duff. Only $29.95
Btw. an email reader with graphics GUI that gave me a good impression is claws-mail (no L337-ness to be gained, though). jj, just 2 cents (Euro-cents)
