Re: Fehlermeldung Ursprung

Hello,

sorry I was not aware I'm writing to an int'l list.

Yes, you're right, the

  mv ~/.tin/tinrc ~/.tin/tinrc.bak && \
  iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -c -o ~/.tin/tinrc ~/.tin/tinrc.bak 

line did do the trick.

The "error in regular expression" is now gone.

Thank you.

Christian
