The system where I'm running mutt doesn't have a /etc/locale.gen, I'm
a user not the sysadmin so I don't have the ability to do things as

Neither of the above LC_TYPE settings has any effect as far as I can
see.
I think maybe there is something broken on the system in question, if
I can find out what it is I'm sure I can get the system administrator
to mend it, but I need to be able to tell him what needs doing.
