If you're running ext2 on a DiskOnChip you should mount it with the noatime option if you can - this will eliminate a lot of write activity.

Do you know in what kernel version this was added? I didn't find it in 2.0.30.

//Björn.

P.s Whats with iso-8859-15? D.s

It's probably in 2.0.latest - the 2.0 series had lots of features added to it. If not, maybe it's available as a separate patch. It should also be in 2.2

I believe there's also some way of doing it per-directory.

Err... we got a batch of new keyboards with the € (euro) sign on them, so I played about with exmh till it could use it. My tests seemed to show that most mailreaders which couldn't handle 8859-15 would revert to 8859-1 when reading those mails, so I didn't bother to change it back.
