    That's not easy, due to Cygwin limitations. But it is maybe
possible. First you must compile Mutt with both --enable-locales-fix and
--without-wc-funcs. Second in muttrc you must explicitly set $charset to
the correct value for your terminal. And you might benefit from
$assumed_charset feature, see the enhanced patch by Tamotsu Takahashi.

    What terminal do you use? Cygwin console, or something else? What
charset does it use? And what charset does Cygwin console use in
"CYGWIN=codepage:oem" mode? You might be limited to either ISO-8859-5 or
UTF-8. Charsets like KOI8-R (where 128-159 are printable) might be more
difficult to accomodate.


Bye!    Alain.
