I have just started to use mutt but I have one problem I am hoping I can get some help 
with.  I do send quite a lot of e-mails in Swedish and I am not able to read the extra 
letters that the Swedish alphabet has.  They show up as question marks.  I have emacs 
as my editor and when I send mail to myself I see the letters as numbers.  For example 
344, 345, and 366.  What do I need to do inorder to fix this.
Thaks for the help,
Clyde
