Wait a second: The symptoms seem compatible with the right label but
no locale case. Let's imagine the UTF-8 mail contains the 2 bytes C2 B4.
Mutt converts that from label=UTF-8 to $charset=iso-8859-1//TRANSLIT for
display, giving a single B4 char. Then Mutt asks to the locale if B4 is
printable. The locale is not or wrongly set, and replies false. So Mutt
octalizes the B4 to "\264".
Roland: Can you export LANG=en_NZ, restart Mutt, verify in-vivo
":set &charset ?charset" prints "iso-8859-1", and open the garbled mail?
You should get *won´t* and *¨reply¨* (looks ugly in my font, but hey..).
BTW this mail is such a C2 B4 UTF-8 mail, for testing.
Bye! Alain.
