mail with Unicode support
Hello, I have a question. There is a command line mail client "mail", it is good, but obviously, does not support Unicode. Are there any (other) mail clients for command line having support for Unicode (UTF-8) and maybe other encodings? Or are there any other versions of mail/mailx programm which might have such support built in?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, i was wrong. It supports Unicode UTF-8, at least now. Donno what happened but it works now. Maybe some of what i installed made all top. Anyway, problem seems to be solved.

---------------------

What i know about that now, the "just mail" does not support Unicode, but there is Heirloom mail, former nail, something from BSD, it supports Unicode. When sending email with Unicode text as body using heirloom mail/nail, body is transferred correct, but there might be problems with headers. Don't know, may be i do someting wrong, maybe there is other reason - sendmail rules rewriting the headers.
