If I fail to set my $LANG environment variable to a locale that includes
iso-8859-1 characters (currently I set it to "en_US.iso88591" on my
HP-UX box), then I see "?" in the pager for that character. By telling
my OS that I can and want to see these characters, Mutt picks up on this
and shows them to me.
The fact that "vi" and "less" show the character regardless of locale
setting, means that those programs ignore locales. Mutt believes that
the world is much larger than your local Unix box, so it wants you to
tell it about your locale, and tries to use your OS's localization
routines to their fullest.
