The buffer modeline is not supposed to change -- the change makes emacs read incoming data encoded in utf-8 format (notmuch outputs everything in utf-8). Before the change emacs expected (in your case) input data being in latin1 format ("guessed" from your locale), but as input was in utf-8 the conversion to emacs internal format went wrong. When emacs displays something (buffer content, that is) it converts the internal format to the encoding emacs window is using. So, my guess is you did something wrong when trying David's patch and you did not get the change evaluated. This what I did: I opened emacs/notmuch-query.el to another emacs window while notmuch-hello open in another window. Then I added line (coding-system-for-read 'utf-8) in line 35: (let ((args '("show" "--format=json")) (json-object-type 'plist) (json-array-type 'list) (coding-system-for-read 'utf-8) (json-false 'nil)) then moved cursor to the end of line 44 which shows: (json-read))))) (last line of that function) and entered c-x c-e (eval-last-sexp) -- that re-evaluates the function definition. And, as said, after that change my emails render correctly on latin1 -terminal (as opposed those did not render correctly before) > Hope this helps.
