I have a strange problem that I discovered while switching to using emacs as an editor in Mutt. It turns out that emacs will not accept non-ASCII characters like åäöé if I'm running emacs from within an xterm, but it works fine on the console or as a stand alone X application. To make things even stranger I can always display such characters if I open a file containing them, even from inside an xterm. I have tried executing 'set-language-environment' and setting it to 'Latin 1', but to no avail. My LC_CTYPE variable is set to sv_SE.ISO-8859-1, but it doesn't seam to matter if I change that.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? -- // André
