I am sorry, but I cannot set the locale of my system correctly. I have
done dpkg-reconfigure locales and have chosen NL.nl@euro but still, when
I type in 'locale', all I see is LANG=C and everything C. The system
setting of locales has no effect on existing users, so it seems.
Apologies if this is off topic, but all other programs, like VIM and
Links, show the accents correctly; it's just Mutt that shows the accents
as numbers.
