I don't know if this will help but a while back I was having issues with international characters displaying properly in a consistent fashion between mutt and vim on Solaris 11. What I ended up doing was simplifying my setup so that only GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (for Gnome apps) and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 language related parameters were exported in my shell's environment. I compiled mutt to use /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 and vim to use /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 and I ran mutt in a gnome-terminal which supports UTF-8. I removed any mutt/vim parameters that modified the charset. At this point I'm now seeing proper, consistent international character display in mutt and vim. -- Will Fiveash
