Unconfigured locale, so it is defaulting to English and US-Ascii.
This is the cause of the Ø 330 problem. There is no Mutt bug.
Setup correctly your locale to your language, country, and charset,
and Mutt will be fine. I believe there is a Debian-specific helper
utility for that. Quoting Christoph Berg on mutt-users list:
| On Debian/Woody, do:
| # apt-get install locales (unless already installed)
| # dpkg-reconfigure locales (unless already configured correctly)
| $ export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (or what you chose in dpkg-reconfigure)
Or the hard old way:
| $ locale --all-locales | grep _CH # pick your country
| de_CH
| fr_CH
| it_CH
| $ export LC_CTYPE=fr_CH # pick your language
Bye! Alain.
