When you compile Mutt ;-).
I've tried 'LANG=ko', 'korean', 'ko_KR', 'korean.eur'. Nothing worked,
all I could see was '?'. What I needed was for Mutt to spit out raw
8bit characters to Xterm; and, '--enable-locale-fix' did it.
Sorry, after re-reading your post, I'm at where you are now. I can see
8bit characters in the header and message, whether encoded or raw. But,
even though the 8bit characters don't display properly when I type at
the bottom of terminal, they get encoded properly. Because, I can see
them after I receive the mail.
So, I can offer no help.
