The trouble is that the mutt I'd use at Monash is on a Solaris box and
about 50 people use mutt from it. I wouldn't get too far making the
sysadmin install a much older version (we have 1.1.9i installed) in a 
special-language hack.

That version, which does have a few patches, actually honours the .rc
file's code setting (the standard release doesn't), but screws up muchly
on the handling of attachment codes. Trying to attach an EUC document,
for example, results in a mess.
