No, this bug only appeared on my system after I upgraded to woody's
libc6 and locales, version 2.1.94-3 (2.2 beta). (I use
zh_HK.big5hkscs by the way ... but the latest libc6, locales and
mutt from woody should be broken for zh_CN.GB2312/GBK too.)

Or just unset the LANG, LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL variables before starting
mutt.
