That one ^^ I think. That's what I have installed. I just did a
`dpkg-reconfigure locales' and chose my preference.

Huh? Well it's there in a default setup in my woody. I have no idea
what's going on there.

Yep, that's what I meant by "or whatever" -- if you wanted something
else other than en_US

Just out of curiosity, do you have the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US?

Yeah I use bash, so I set my ~/.bashrc with the correct LC_* settings
(you could set yours to en_US if that's what you wanted.)

Set those in your ~/.bashrc, source your .bashrc (% . ~/.bashrc) then
type in mutt and look at an email where you get the ? marks and see if
it's "right." (open a shell and type in mutt manually to make sure it
*is* working from there before you try it from a menu, key-binding, etc.)
