    What gives:

| $ locale -a | grep ^de_DE
| de_DE

    ...and the output of the little locales checking program at
<URL:http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/Locale/checklocale.c>

    Not related to your problem, but better use:

| set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:windows-1252:utf-8"


> set locale=de

    And this works? You get German dates in Mutt?

    What means unable here: You get a bell, no char, and cursor
doesn't move?

    When there is a LC_CTYPE problem, one gets bells at input and "\374"
octals or "?" at display. So perhaps you have also an iconv setup
problem, so no "\374" but no conversion.

    What do you see here, it's a CP-850 129 u umlaut: "".

    And here, it's a CP-850 207 monetary sign: "".


Bye!    Alain.
