OK, it seems then that the xterm and vim are more tolerant than mutt, when it comes to ISO8859-1 characters. They work fine with $LANG=C and LC_CTYPE="". Trying Roman Neuhauser's most helpful response on another thread: export LANG=en_AU.ISO8859-1 was enough for mutt, despite previous failures when setting LC_CTYPE to ISO8859-1. Grateful thanks Roman! Given that mutt is suffiently popular to be the one that we trip over, an FAQ entry might save some mailing list bandwidth. :-) Regards, Erik
