It says here:
bash-2.05# ldd /usr/bin/mutt libncurses.so.5 =>
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40022000) libc.so.6 =>

I always wanted to learn Japanese. But once I am able to
read it fully, the Zaurus with mutt is out-of-date <g>.

Regarding the privately sent locale directories please see
the private reply. Didn't have any effect.
Well, if all that mutt is doing dependent on the locales is
switch the charset, and if setting the charset manually in
muttrc does have effect but not entirely the desired one,
can tweaking the locales have any better effect at all?
If I set charset in muttrc to iso-8859-1, I get these octal
codes. If I set ot to us-ascii I get question marks (much
better to read, so I use that now). Just using "automated
charset setting" cannot do any better, can it?

I document my entire setup publicly, so of we can resolve
that issue, it will be documented as well (with a big thank
you mentioning your name of course!)
