Has the Euro symbol been added to Latin-1?  
If so, what did it replace - the generic currency symbol at
0xA4?  None of my iso-8859-1 fonts seem to have the symbol, so
I thought you had to use Unicode to get it.  

(In which case you need to set your charset to utf-8 instead of
iso-8859-1, make sure you're running a utf-8 capable xterm with the
-u8 option, and make sure you have glibc-2.2.  I had no end of
problems getting Unicode to work with mutt, but it turned out that
the reason was my glibc was only 2.1.)
