2.Does muttt support Unicode (UTF-8)?
Thtat's all for now!

Re: [Solved] Some question's about mutt.

1. I use feh to open images, but you can pass them to any viewer...
2. http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Charset

There is also sup http://sup.rubyforge.org/ and not much http://notmuchmail.org/ if you want a minimalist approach...

Re: [Solved] Some question's about mutt.

1) mutt uses .mailcap to specify what applications to use to open up attachments (all images in emails are attachments).

2) Yes. You may want to search the mutt mail archives for specifics (I know it's come up on there quite a bit). mutt will use the charset specified in the email itself, and you can set the "assumed_charset" variable to handle emails that don't specify it.

More here:

http://wiki.mutt.org/
http://www.mutt.org/#doc

EDIT Jason beat me to it - and I forgot the FAQ.

Also, if you like minimalist, try nmh (don't know if it's in AUR).
Oh and many people like Claws email (and/or Sylpheed Claws). I thnk that's the nicest of the GUI clients that I've looked at.

Thanks guys that was helpful.
Claws-mail is very nice I think I will use as my main mail client, but I would test mutt too
Thanks again!
