I have -LOCALES_HACK, I'll try what you say.
Mutt aside, I've dropped out of X to type this. I'm in Nano
and will press F5 to insert a file containing the 1/2 character
and uppercase-accent-E:
[begin]
½É
[end]
When I do the same action from within gnome-terminal in X,
I see ?? instead of the charcters. How can I overcome that?
AFAIK these are upper-ASCII, not UTF, chars.
I cannot paste these upper-ascii characters into gnome-terminal,
but they seem to work fine in Kate, gedit, and Mozilla. ??
