The system > setting of locales has no effect on existing users, so it seems. The "system setting" of locales doesn't really exist. dpkg-reconfigure doesn't set your locale; it simply makes a new locale available to your system. Users still need to set their LANG and/or LC_* environment variables for themselves. > 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. Apologies if this is off-topic, but: "all other programs I use regularly on my system" != "all other programs" Mutt uses your C library to determine how to display stuff. It's (a) correct, and (b) far more flexible, since you can simply tell your system you want stuff working differently (by hacking your libc in extreme cases, or in less extreme cases simply changing your LC_* environment variables and/or tweaking locales), and all programs that use libc correctly will automatically adapt without even having to be recompiled. - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
