Comment 1 Pawel Salek 2001-08-14 08:29:51 UTC 
1. is it a one time-event? Reproducible? Which charset was involved?
2. version of glibc?
3. you you have a separate iconv library installed?
Comment 2 Pawel Salek 2002-01-16 22:08:45 UTC 
I assume this is difficult to reproduce and fix.
Comment 3 gaelyne 2002-01-17 03:10:07 UTC 
The fix for this was reported in the Balsa mailing list. 

The solution was:  download and install iconv from the MUTT site.
