Re: [Nmh-workers] character sets and localization

Hi Valdis,

There is no standard of which I'm aware for finding out the local
character set.

Look at the $LANG environment variable, that's probably a good start
on most systems. The various LC_ environment variables if you want to
do more localization work.

LANG should only be used if the LC_* ones you need are absent.

Cheers,
