Mutt and locale

["Lonnie Sutton" <lsutton2@qwest.net>]

I seem to have munged something up somewhere, as I get a "?" where I
should be getting accented letters, and I often get emails with "\227",
or "\223", etc. where I should be getting punctuation.

Locale reports the following:

LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=

My /etc/locale.gen reports:

# This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find a
# list
# of valid supported locales at /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. Other
# combinations are possible, but may not be well tested. If you change
# this file, you need to rerun locale-gen.
#
# XXX GENERATED XXX
#
# NOTE!!! If you change this file by hand, and want to continue
# maintaining manually, remove the above line. Otherwise, use the
# command
# "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to manipulate this file. You can manually
# change this file without affecting the use of debconf, however, since
# it
# does read in your changes.

en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf
# Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be
# preserved
# by debconf.  Instead, make changes before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF
# SECTION
# FOR localeconf" line, and/or after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR
# localeconf" line.
### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf

I read the /usr/share/doc/mutt/README.Debian file and don't see any
additional hints or directions there that I haven't followed.

I am using mutt 1.5.4i.

Thanks in advance for getting me sorted.
