OK, let me put it another way! :-)
*Everything* I try except the mutt pager displays the accented
characters correctly, e.g. the following:-
cat
more
vi (which is actually elvis)
Aha, I've found something else which does something different, 'less'
displays the accented characters as <hex value>.
Maybe what I'm seeing is my *local* system displaying the characters
correctly (I'm doing this via telnet) and cat, more and vi are simply
sending the 8-bit characters "as is" whereas mutt and less are being
'correct' and saying "I can't display this".
So maybe the question I should be asking is:-
How do I make the mutt pager send the 8-bit characters "as is"
rather than changing them to "?".
