Anyone got any pointers on how to make foreign characters display in
mutt? For example when someone sends me email in Spanish, the accented
characters appear as question marks:

> El CMI Valpara?so discutir?

I've noticed from the mail agent string that the sender is using
Outhouse (don't know if this is relevant):

> X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000

I tried these settings, got weird problems in other programs:

> export LC_CTYPE=es_ES.ISO-8859-1
> set meta-flag on        # conservar bit 8 en entrada de teclado
> set output-meta on      # conservar bit 8 en salida por terminal
> set convert-meta off    # no convertir secuencias de escape

'Autumn of the Patriarch': ...the only difference was the colour of the
armoured cars: in Ireland they were khaki; in Ankara and Istanbul they
were black.  Otherwise the impression from the motorcade was the same:
anti-Bush graffiti, lines of armed policemen, roadblocks, and emptied
roads.  Telegraph.co.uk, 30jun04. See also Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
