I have an issue whereby when I recieve an email with an English pound sign in it £ it is displayed as this --> "\243" [without quotes] or somtimes it looks like "??". I am not sure if it is a mutt issue or a a system one but I suspect mutt. My system is as follows :- Gentoo linux mutt 1.5.11 running under aterm.
I suspect your terminal charset and/or font. When you run “locale” what do you get? When you run this:
perl -e 'printf("%c\n", 0243)'
What do you get? What is the value of send_charset in your muttrc?
You are sending mail with the charset “unknown-8bit”, so I’m guessing
that you have a locale issue.
Try setting LC_CTYPE to something like en_US.UTF-8 (depending on what you can find in the output of “locale -a”).
