As I  said, both of those are  just about identical.  I explicitly set
my LC  variables because of Red  Hat and/or GNU internationalizing all
of the standard GNU utilities which have suddenly changed their output
after 20 years...

  LC_COLLATE=C
  LC_MESSAGES=en_US
  LC_TIME=en_US
  LC_NUMERIC=en_US

I'll have to give that a shot.  I apparently need to get the clearsign
patch for mutt anyway, so I may as well recompile with the latest.
