Hi,

since compiling mutt 1.5.21 from source[1], non-ASCII-characters are
displayed as M-CM-[$6<~]. This is not only in mail (subject and body),
but in mutt messages as well, e.g. the german version of "Opening
mailbox <name>...".

My system is ubuntu 11.04, with gnome-terminal. The output of "locale"
is:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de:en
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
...
LC_ALL=

Because "locale -a" showed
...
de_DE.utf8
...

I tried to set LC_CTYPE to utf8 (without the dash):
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8; export LC_CTYPE

but this had no effect too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Jens
