Solution 1: Don't set the environment variable LANG, but set LC_CTYPE
instead.
Solution 2: Define LC_MESSAGES=C.
Solution 3: Configure Mutt with "--disable-nls".
The locale settings are affected by a number of environment variables:
LC_COLLATE - how to collate or sort alphabetically
LC_CTYPE - character handling, which chars are printable, letters etc.
LC_MONETARY - defines the local money symbol
LC_MESSAGES - affects the languages of messages, and yes/no answers etc.
LC_NUMERIC - how to format numbers
LC_TIME - language and format for times and dates
LC_ALL - everything, overrides all of the above
LANG - everything, overriden by all of above
