I discovered that the encoding of filenames changed when a recent
macOS upgrade switched from HFS+ filesystem to AFS filesystem.
The older one was using utf-8 decomposed format while the new one is using
utf-8 composed format.
Thus this problem is one caused by macOS internal change and neither
a problem caused by mutt or vi.

How is vi able to display the 2 formats of coding utf-8 correctly without
any specific configuration?
Is there any configuration to make mutt read the 2 kinds of file name
encodings with utf-8 exactly as vi is able to display them?
Might this be a special mutt build option for macOS?
