| For the most part I use the North American flavour of things (i.e., not i18n),
| but occasionally I recieve and send emails in iso-8859-2 charset. After much
| frustrating experimentation, setting LC_CTYPE to "en_CA.ISO-8859-2" gets me
| the proper charset in mutt. This works (I get Latin-2 chars when needed, but
| text is in english), but some other apps complain about this wierd mix of
| charset and locale.
Unless we know your OS version and the country/locale/language that you
wish to send to/in, we don't really know the correct locale for you.
| So I would like to read up on this stuff (locale, NLS, charmaps, etc.). Can
| anyone recommend any beginner/intro stuff on this stuff? Online URLs
| preferred. Also if anyone can point out a better way to do what I want above,
| that'd be great too.
Need your OS version(uname -a) and target audience/charset.
Some stuff I wrote for intros:

You can also check out the M17N stuff at www.mozilla.org
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/refList/i18n/
Then here is a somewhat comprehensive guide at :

Mutt still does not handle the Chinese/Japanese/Korean filenames
and titles very well, but I think the European charsets are fine.
