right, that's where i'm trying to start from.  i have the line 

  export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1

in my ~/.zshrc, but neither sourcing that nor entering that at a
prompt does anything to affect the ouput of `locale` ... so bit the
terminal, and by exension, mutt, don't display accented charaters.
what am i not understanding here?  

thanks,
