I have (I think) the same problem. I'm on a fresh installed suse 9.2
where mutt, vim and terminal comes with the distro (suse 9.2 is said
to be all utf-8) and yet I get garbled chars in mutt. Your funny
chars, for instance, shows up as rectangles in both mutt and vim.
Output from locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
and in mutt (not set in .muttrc):
charset="utf-8"
send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
