I was reading this using mutt+less on a Solaris 8 box. I see A's with
various accents. In my .bashrc file I have :
export LESSCHARSET=iso8859
which properly displays accented characters. When I had nothing set
for LESSCHARSET, I got a warning on opening "binary" files and
people's names with accented (upper-ASCII) characters displayed as,
for example, <F6> with reverse video. (the hex value of the
character).
HTH,
