I've been following the UTF-8 discussion.  For me, I can't even get
iso-8869-1 characters in the 128-255 range to display correctly.

The content-type line in the message looks like:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

and if I 'more' or 'cat' the message to the terminal (I'm using
maildir), the accented characters show up fine, so the terminal is
basically up to the job and has a font with the characters in it.

However, inside mutt's pager I get varying forms of junk depending on
the setting of charset, e.g.

charset=us-ascii gives
????e?

charset=iso-8859-1 gives
\344\341\337\351e\350

charset=utf-8 gives
\303\244\303\241\303\237\303\251e\303\250
(OK, not much of a surprise)

The output of 'cat' correctly shows the 6 characters:
a-umlaut
a-acute
scharfes-S
e-acute
plain e
e-grave

This is mutt 1.4i, I have the problem with either xterm or rxvt, and
with both slang and ncurses builds of mutt.

Where's my problem?

Cheers
Richard
