international characters in mutt



Hi, 

I am having trouble getting mutt to show Norwegian characters (e.g. æ
and ø). The strange thing is that they work all fine on the command line,
and if I use more or less to view the mbox-file, they show up as they
are supposed to. It is, in other words, only a problem in mutt. 

I have read man muttrc and fiddled with settings a while, but I have not
managed to crack the problem. Normally the characters come up as
question marks, but if I put "set charset=iso-8859-1" in my ~/.muttrc I
get the the special characters coming up as "\345", which is even worse.
Does anybody have any similar experiences, and a solution to it?

Thanks,
Stig
