I agree that my problem is probably input related. By your reply I |
| 26 |
presume that mutt uses readline for input; is this correct? |

Midnight Commander displays åäö correctly, but not the corresponding |
| 29 |
capital letters ÅÄÖ, which is confusing to say the least. Links works |
| 30 |
after switching to UTF-8 I/O and ISO 8859-1 character set (UTF-8 is not |
| 31 |
available?), although some symbols are not displayed, e.g. the euro |
| 32 |
currency symbol € is replaced by EUR -- but this is due to the symbol |
| 33 |
missing from the charset, I believe. |
