Comment (by michele.marcionelli@…):

 Just for your information: the old mutt-devel (Mutt 1.6.0 (2016-04-01))
 was working well with the default settings,
 i.e. with the "set locale variables automatically" setting for Terminal
 (or iTerm) which correspond to following {{{locale}}}:

 {{{
 LANG=
 LC_COLLATE="C"
 LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
 LC_MESSAGES="C"
 LC_MONETARY="C"
 LC_NUMERIC="C"
 LC_TIME="C"
 LC_ALL=
 }}}

 Now with the new neomutt (NeoMutt 20160916 (1.7.0) - just installed today)
 I get following results:

 1) with default {{{locale}}} (see above):
 - in the mail listing I read the subject "Z??rich" instead of "Zürich"
 - while reading the email I see in the header "Subject: Z??rich" and in
 the body "Z\303\274rich"

 2) with {{{unset LC_CTYPE}}} I get this output of {{{locale}}}

 {{{
 LANG=
 LC_COLLATE="C"
 LC_CTYPE="C"
 LC_MESSAGES="C"
 LC_MONETARY="C"
 LC_NUMERIC="C"
 LC_TIME="C"
 LC_ALL=
 }}}

 and I see:
 - in the mail listing I read the subject "Zrich" instead of "Zürich"
 - while reading the email both header and body is OK

 3) with {{{export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8}}} I get this output of {{{locale}}}

 {{{
 LANG=
 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
 }}}

 and everything seems to work fine; also {{{export LC_ALL=en_US}}} oder
 {{{export LC_ALL=de_CH}}} work find.

 What is the difference with (1)? Why (1) don't work correctly with
 neomutt?

 I also noticed that not setting the LC_ALL but all other LC_* event to
 different values mutt will display umlauts and accents correctyle; but if
 I just unset one of the LC_* mutt will fail:

 {{{
 LANG=
 LC_COLLATE="de_AT"
 LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
 LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
 LC_MONETARY="de_CH"
 LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR"
 LC_TIME="en_GB"
 LC_ALL=
 }}}
 ==> is ok for mutt

 {{{
 LANG=
 LC_COLLATE="de_AT"
 LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
 LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
 LC_MONETARY="C"
 LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR"
 LC_TIME="en_GB"
 LC_ALL=
 }}}
 ==> is no more ok for mutt

 HTH ;-)

 Bests,
 Michele
