I now have (via a line in  .bashrc ):

  purslow: ~> locale
    LANG=
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

There's no difference in the headers.
It occurs to me that I'm running Mutt via 'konsole -e mutt',
which is restarted automatically by KDE .
I did restart X & thereby KDE & Konsole+Mutt ,
but just possibly that won't use  .bashrc : any thoughts ?

That sounds rather extreme (smile): are there specific lines to comment out ?
