Good question. Somebody on the Red Hat list asked me to check i18n,
and I found:
[marco@polaris marco]$ more /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
[marco@polaris marco]$ more ~/.i18n
LANG=en_US
I also found out that ~/.i18n had a change date more or less
corresponding to when this mess started. Unfortunately I can't
remember to have changed it myself, or why. Hence, I have no backup,
or clue as to its previous content, or existence, for that matter.
For the record, changing ~/.i18n to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 makes mutt display
cirumflex lowercase "a" in place of expected dash character "-"
What now? I mean, utf setup does seem to be the problem, not mutt, but
how to fix it?

Of course. I have invented a whole new bunch of colors, and patented
them. Real soon now, you'll all be forced to go monochromatic or make
me stinking rich, BUWAHAHAHAHA!!!
I snipped to make the message as short as possible, since that setting
is long and not relevant (it couldn't possibly be, right?)
