Thanks Alain, for the hint that moved this one forward a bit.
It still has the distinct appearance of a mutt problem, though,
since:
o vim effortlessly displays the iso-8859-1 characters, when invoked
from within mutt, to "edit" the received email. i.e. it does what
mutt fails to do. (Even with the current value of "" for LC_CTYPE.)
o Also, when I vim a single line file, and then cat it in an xterm or
Eterm:
cat /tmp/fred
To sm� b�rn <- If you use mutt, this may not display properly.
the iso-8859-1 characters display faultlessly. (So locale hardly
seems to be the limitation.)
It appears then, to this observer at least, that mutt is demonstrably
the source of the doggy-do.
(Hopefully this analysis is right, 'cos grubbing around the net for
methods to massage LC_CTYPE has so far only revealed stuff that doesn't
work for me. :-)
