yes, I see
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb76da000)
with all three versions of mutt on my system.
There is a tiny difference in mutt -v
1.8.0: ncurses: ncurses 6.0.20160213 (compiled with 6.0)
1.7.1: ncurses: ncurses 6.0.20160213 (compiled with 5.9)
I start both versions of mutt in the same terminal, i.e. environment variables
and .muttrc are the same.
I have LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, but even with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 the old versions of mutt
display umlaute nicely.
Of course, the easiest solution for me is to go back to 1.7.1, but that seems
not entirely satisfying.
Kind regards
