I've changed this. I now have set (and exported) _only_ LANG, as per
your advice. I set it to "en_US.ISO8859-1". I commented out the
LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES. So now when I run the "locale" command
at my shell prompt, I get this:
[panix1:~] [v4.2.5] zsh 1001 --> locale
LANG="en_US.ISO8859-1"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO8859-1"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.ISO8859-1"
LC_ALL=""
[panix1:~] [v4.2.5] zsh 1002 -->
i.e., all three settable "locale" settings are the same, at
"en_US.ISO8859-1".
(Though in mutt, I have still left 'charset' unset, and "set ?charset"
still returns: charset="iso-8859-1".)
But: 1002 --> echo "äü" | iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8
still returns:
äü
That is, capital-A-with-tilde, box, capital-A-with-tilde
(again), and the mathematical Pi sign. This is in _both_ Mutt
and Vim.
Meanwhile, I am currently reading through
