"locale -a" returns a list as follows on the system in question
(trimmed) :-
sv
swedish
tr
turkish
uk
wa
zh
zh_CN.GB2312
... so should I be putting "export LC_ALL=uk"? If I do this then
mutt displays ????? for all its prompts. If I set LC_ALL to another
language then I get prompts in that language but it still doesn't
have any effect on the '\243' displayed instead of pound signs.
