Re: Help sending UTF-8 in mail subject

Hi,

Apologies for the delay.

It should not be too difficult. Just follow the instructions below:

1. Download the sources from any of the locations below:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/mailutils/mailutils-3.21.90.tar.gz
or  
  https://download.gnu.org.ua/alpha/mailutils/mailutils-3.21.90.tar.gz

2. Untar the archive and change to the directory mailutils-3.21.90.

Note that it contains, among others, the file README, which describes
the build procedure in detail. The instructions below are selected
for your particular case. If you wish, you can use that file to
further modify them.

3. Configure the package. Run:

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/inst \
              --disable-build-servers \
	      --disable-build-clients \
              --enable-build-mail \
	      --disable-shared

This instructs the package to build only the mail binary and libraries
it depends on, and link it statically, to avoid using any mailutils
libraries that may be already installed on your system. The package will
be installed to directory "inst" in your home directory. Edit the
'--prefix' option, if you wish to chage it.

4. Build the package. Run

   make

5. Install it:

   make install

You will find the mail binary in the directory ~/inst/bin.

Let me know if you encounter any difficulties.

Regards,
Sergey
