That is good to know - as Latin2 characters such as é in resumé are
typically garbled in the subject lists of mutt in my xterms, but

For what it is worth - 
david1 at swanage:~> locale 
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=

You are right - with a little more knowledge it is clear that my

Best regards, David
