Well, that means i completely misunderstood your reply and the bug report referenced. my locales as reported by locale -a are $ locale -a C POSIX and by localedef are $ localedef --list-archive en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 Setting LANG=en_US or LC_CTYPE=en_US such as in the following commands doesn't help in showing special characters. LANG=en_US.utf8 mutt LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 mutt that is why i assumed that the bug in glibc is not allowing me to the locale correctly even though it is installed. i believe any answer to this would be of benefit to the OP of this thread as well. sridhar PS: Cheryl, sorry for the confusion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
