It has GNU Emacs 23.1.1. In emacs windows I can produce diacritics like e accent grave or o umlaut in the usual Mac way by the option (= alt) key: option-` e and option-u o. However, when I prepare an email message in mutt in an emacs window provided by emacsclient then I cannot produce these diacritics. The mentioned symbols now give C( and C6 . The same happens when I copy these (correctly displayed) symbols from a text window and paste them in my mail window: C( and C6 . In my .muttrc I have the line set editor=emacsclient There is no improvement if, instead, I put in my .bashrc the lines export ALTERNATE_EDITOR="" export EDITOR=emacsclient Does anybody know a solution?
