    Charset in the Linux console depends on mode and font loaded. You
could try something as:

| case "${TERM}" in
|   xterm)
|     export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ;;
|   linux-latin-9)
|     export LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-15@euro ;;
|   *)
|     export LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 ;;
| esac
| export LC_COLLATE=C
| export LC_MESSAGES=C

    And drop setting $charset from muttrc.

    Really?


Bye!    Alain.
