DO NOT SET MUTT'S LOCALE, unless you really, really know what you're
doing.  Let your operating system set it for you, unless you really,
really know what you're doing.  It causes silly problems exactly like
this one... unless you really, really know what you're doing.

I'm aware that various documentation on the internet suggests doing
this... it is all wrong.  Mutt's locale needs to be consistent with
your system's locale in all but very specilized cases, and by far the
best and easiest way to ensure this is to leave it unset in Mutt,
allowing it to inherit the operating system's setting.
