The POSIX locale and the C locale are synonyms for each other. They are defined to be the same thing. POSIX is the standardization of the standard C locale. Reading this thread late, perhaps it is not mutt at all but the terminal you are using to display it in? It seems to me that the terminal window would need the charset capability before an application like mutt could use it. Bob
