If you're using the mutt deb package, look in /usr/share/doc/mutt/README.Debian at the top, there's info on displaying characters. I'm using mutt and see accented letters fine... in /etc/environment , I have: LINGUAS=en_US LC_COLLATE=C LANG=en_US Maybe try that, log back in and restart X. > Mutt aside, I've dropped out of X to type this.

I just tried copy-pasting `½É` in gnome-terminal and it works... hope you get it working. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
