Maybe I don't understand you, but how can a textmode application like
mutt or vim, which depends on the fonts of the xterm or the console,
use UTF-8 if they couldn't properly display the characters?
I start mutt from xbuffy with the following script:
#!/bin/bash
export SHELL=/bin/bash
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 # for Japanese input via XIM
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -u8 -fn
"-misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-18-120-100-100-c-*-iso10646-1" \
-geometry 110x44+0+0 -bg black -fg white -T Mutt -e mutt -F \
/etc/Muttrc -F /home/fsing/stse/.mutt/muttrc.x11 "$@"
So I'm running mutt within an UTF-8 xterm without having the global
locale set to UTF-8.
Shade and sweet water!
