Me, too. I take a different approach: I have a short wrapper script
that I use for invoking mutt. It sets LANG, then returns LC_COLLATE to
C so that sorting works correctly. :) As these are environmental,
they're passed down to editors and any pagers I might one day set up.
(It also intercepts newsgroup names from the command line so that nntp
patch picks them up with a minimum of fuss.)
I have no display problems in 1.3.8, either. I'll attach the wrapper
in case anyone wants it. I just call it "m", cause I'm a no-type kind
of guy.
