What's the variable "charset" set to in you .muttrc? Does it reflect the locale your system is running?
My "charset" value is unset. And how do I check my locale? Is that in /etc/sysconfig/i18n?
Just run /usr/bin/locale in your terminal. The key value is LC_CTYPE, which specifies characters and case conversion.
You can test your terminal's ability to handle various locales with a simple script:
----- %< ----- #!/bin/bash LANG=C for loc in $(locale -a | grep utf8 | sort); do echo "Locale: $loc" # Aug 1, 2004 was a Sunday, Aug 7 a Saturday for n in $(seq 1 7); do LANG="$loc" date +"%A (%a)" -d 2004/8/${n} done for n in $(seq 1 12); do LANG="$loc" date +"%B (%b)" -d 2004/${n}/1 done echo done ----- %< -----
