I recently downloaded mutt-1.3.28i hoping to play with the utf-8 support;
I'm having a few problems in this area, so bare with me - here's what I
did and what's happening.

Some background info,

  uname -a      : SunOS max 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u
  gcc -version  : 2.95.2

  % ./configure --enable-locales-fix --without-wc-funcs
  % make; make install

I then started mutt and mailed myself something - I then modified the
title of the mail as well as the body of the message (in the mbox file)
and inserted a few UTF-8 characters (this is in a UTF-8 enabled xterm).
I also modified the "Content-Type" header to look as follows,

  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

I then did "setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8" and then fired-off mutt again
in that same multi-byte enabled xterm to see if the title and the body
would include the multibyte glyphs and instead mostly octals (a few
correct glyphs showed-up by the majority of them were octals).  If I
'cat' the mbox file, all the UTF-8 glyphs are shown properly.

What should I do (the two configure options noted in INSTALL are already
being included) in order to get mutt to display the glyphs properly and
not as octals ?

Much thanks...

 - Nadim
