french accented vowels, cedilla, etc.

I'm using Mutt-2.1i, precompiled for Slackware.  From time to time I
receive email from Quebec with these characters.  The internal pager
displays them as "?", the editor, vi, shows them in what I gather is
quoted readable format, e.g. é is shown as =E9.  The only way I can
read them in Mutt is by using the forward command.

Admittedly this is a petty annoyance, but I'd appreciate hearing from
anyone who knows how to get the internal pager and/or my editor to
display these characters.

TIA
