I have just tried commenting out the LC_CTYPE="en_NZ" and logging out/in
then starting mutt and it's now working. (red faced emoticon goes here.)
It definately wasn't working at some stage earlier. It may have
something to do with:
* adding vga=791 to kernel line in grub
(just tried without that option and its still ok)
* not actually trying it since upgrading fully to etch
Should of tested one last time before posting.
