I've encountered a similar situation... I thought umlautes and stuff worked
right earlier, but they don't now. Only on the linux machines, under X.
Opening an xterm and rlogin'ing/ssh'ing in to solaris boxes to run mutt
there works fine. Installing charmaps-0.0 didn't fix things. Nor setting
LANG and LC_CTYPE. Running old versions doesn't seem to work, so it's
possible something changed somewhere.
The only significant difference I've found in configurations is that my
Solaris version has +HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET and the Linux version has
-HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET
I notice vim and more don't have problems, so |more works ok for the rare
occaisions it affects my life.
