Package: joe
Version: 3.5-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

With the settings:  
 echo $LANG -- en_CA
 locale charmap -- UTF-8
 cat /etc/locale.gen -- en_CA UTF-8
 locale -a -- C  en_CA  en_CA.utf8  POSIX
 echo $TERM -- linux
joe starts up with this at the bottom of the screen:
 ** Joe's Own Editor v3.5 ** (iso-8859-1) ** Copyright (C) 2006 **
which indicates that joe is not detecting the system charmap properly.

In addition, if you edit a file which is in utf-8, joe isn't able to refresh
or hold cursor position properly on a terminal which supports utf-8.  Note
that vim does deal with this properly.  Also, if you set LANG=en_ca.UTF-8,
joe displays the correct footer and utf-8 data works properly (refreshes,
cursor position) on the terminal.

Because this involves the terminal, my terminal is SecureCRT   
(www.vandyke.com), configured as Linux emulation with UTF-8 on.
