Remove this line. And check what Mutt says when you type directly
":set &charset ?charset".

Beware: This *has* to be true. Your muttrc and all sourced files
have to be really written in UTF-8.

Remove this line. The rule is to *never* use LC_ALL. Unless you know
what you're doing. And when you know what you're doing, you don't export
it in .zshenv anyway.

Hum... What do you see in shell typing:
| $ printf "\xC3\xBC"
| ü
Bye! Alain.
