If I do

$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

...both the Latin1 e acute and the attached character are shown as '?' and '??'
respectively. On a Latin-1 terminal (xterm, in this case) the same thing occurs.

Did I mention that the command

:set charset

in mutt always gives 'us-ascii' unless overridden in the .muttrc? (Which many
have advised against doing).

The output of mutt -v:
