What LANG setting would be OK, if LANG=en_US > doesn't work? Which other variables may play a role in this? Sorry. I realized I was being a little vague right after I sent that message (it was probably clearer before I went back and edited that paragraph). If you're setting LANG to en_US.UTF-8, but your shell starts up with it set to en_US, then something's gone awry. Check /etc/sysconfig/i18n and ~/.i18n files for LANG, LC_ALL, and other variables listed in the locale(8) man page which affect your locale settings. Note that your application and your terminal have to agree on what encoding to use for sending text back and forth. It looks like mutt is sending text as UTF-8, and xterm is treating it as ISO-8859-1.
