The character set can be specified in the LANG environment, too (if it
is set up correctly on your system ..... chances are good with
glibc-2.x.x)
Configure your terminal to use the character set best suitable for you,
then in a non-csh use something like
LANG=tr.iso-8859-9
export LANG
Check the $charset mutt variable to reflect this setting. When still some
characters are missing, check your character set for completeness.
