I use the nl_NL@euro locale, but you can use whichever one you want.
Don't forget to generate them. On Debian that is adding your locale to
/etc/locale.gen e.g.
| # This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find a list
| # of valid supported locales at /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz. Other
| # combinations are possible, but may not be well tested. If you change
| # this file, you need to rerun locale-gen.
|
| en_US ISO-8859-1
| nl_NL ISO-8859-1
| nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15
and then running locale-gen. When you did that you can set the charset
in your muttrc to the proper locale in my case:
| set charset=iso-8859-15
I've also set the following to environment variables, from my
.bash_profile:
| export LC_CTYPE="nl_NL@euro"
| export LANG="C"
When all this shouldn't work, I remember that it sometimes helps (?) to
compile mutt with --without-wc-funcs, but I don't know why this should
work and it maybe a Bad thing to do.
