I tried any sort of combinations to no avail ...;(

Not sure I fully understand what does that mean: any particular *.config
file to look at? 'charset=G0' to be changed to something else?

Neither Mutt nor Postfix config files contain non-ascii chars. As to
alias files to the best of my knowledge there is only one
/etc/postfix/aliases with no non-ascii.

Unfortunately I have no other clues. AFAICR something similar happened
when I switched from Sarge to Etch and then it was 'cured' by subsequent
updates. Probably the 'bug' is in glibc library (isn't the one
controlling locales?) judging from the great mess coming out when I
change LANG and LC_ALL to something different from 'C' or 'en_US|GB'.
I feel sorry not being able to be of further help and for the time
being I'll stick to previous mutt version ...
Thanks for your help.

Ennio.
PS[OT]: as I greatly miss the possibility to send my mail to debian.org
from console/mutt whom should I try to contact to discover why my posts
are rejected?
