.SH ENCODING
\fBmu\fR's output is \fIalways\fR in UTF-8 format.
\fBmu\fR's output is in the current locale, with the exceptions of the output
specifically meant for output to UTF8-encoded files. In practice, this means
that the output of commands \fBindex\fR, \fBcleanup\fR, \fBview\fR,
\fBextract\fR is always encoded according to the current locale.
The same is true for \fBfind\fR and \fBcfind\fR, with some exceptions, where
the output is always UTF-8, regardless of the locale.
For \fBcfind\fR the exception is \fI--format=bbdb\fR. This is hard-coded to
UTF-8, and as such specified in the output-file, so emacs/bbdb can handle it
correctly without guessing.
For \fBfind\fR the output is encoded according the locale for
\fI--format=plain\fR (the default), and UTF-8 for all other formats
(\fIjson\fR, \fIsexp\fR, \fIxml\fR).
