Hi all,
gmail -> offlineimap -> sup on Ubuntu natty (all updates) x64 using xmonad
and xterm with en-GB.UTF-8 locale
I get the usual "missing ncursesw" and "cannot determine locale" but I don't
think they are the cause of this issue.
The problem is that some of the messages have the ends of their lines
chopped off. If I read them via the gmail web interface or mutt then they
are fine. The text as rendered by sup is:
--- start
different departments and he didnM-b~@~Yt have percentages, but the most com
--- end
the text as rendered by the web and mutt:
--- start
different departments and he didn’t have percentages, but the most common is
--- end
the test as rendered by sup's source view (V):
--- start
different departments and he didn=92t have percentages, but the most common=
is
--- end
I also installed on a Debian stable server with the same result.
Any ideas? I really want to be able to use sup but this is a blocker.
Newbie here, so please go gently :)
Col

Have you checked if the message is just indented a bit? If it is in a
string of replies, then press 'n' to go down until the message is
selected and then press '[' to reset the margin.

This will be related to the lack of ncursesw - if you:
sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev rubygems
sudo gem install ncursesw
Then you should get the full range of characters.

I upgraded to oneric and the wrapping issue has gone away - it was definitely a bug.
I cannot install the ncursesw gem due to a missing dependency - after install ruby1.9full and just about every ncurses package I could find I gave up :).
No worries - the UTF-8 issue is less of an issue than the wrapping.
