Oh, locale... Right. I just got bitten by that with the GNU fileutils. What a pain :-) % % Doing either of the following did the trick, % % % unsetenv LC_ALL % % setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8 % -or- % % setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8 % % My problem was that I wasn't touching LC_ALL (which I'm guessing % overrides individual settings - no mention of that in the 'man' page). Mine was not unlike this; I saw that LANG and LC_ALL were unset and so got righteously pissed off at ls's sorting, but found with a little prompting that LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE (as well as the others) were set to en_US.ISO8859-1, which did me in (and made me eat crow :-) % % Out of curiosity, why doesn't mutt enable utf-8 natively and by % default ? Are there any adverse affects if that were to happen ? You mean override the LC_* variables? I should think that would be obvious, so perhaps I've misunderstood your question. Glad to hear you got it all solved!
