Dear Suvayu, In a bash terminal, I ran the commands you posted with the exception that I put "export" before them. Then I ran mutt. There was no difference. I checked that in locale -a there is indeed en_IN.utf8. I wonder why this works for you and not for me. In any case, thank you for the idea. Xu
