You should be using en_US as your locale. If by running 'locale' (the actual command) either LANG and/or LC_ALL are set to 'C' or 'POSIX', you're not going to see any accents on mutt. On Debian, you should dpkg-reconfigure locales, tell it to generate en_US (or en_GB, or whatever) and use it. Or wrestle with en_US.UTF-8 like me, but it's hell on earth these days... -- Carlos Laviola <carlos@xxxxxxxxxxx>
