Even with threads? Anyways, in mutt, I simply changed the line I was
using to try out utf-8:

set charset=utf-8

with:

set charset=iso-8859-1

I still have this:

$ cat /etc/profile.d/utf-8.sh
#!/bin/bash

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LESSCHARSET=utf-8
export PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 PERL_UNICODE=AS

$ ls -l /etc/profile.d/utf-8.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133 2004-10-27 00:14 /etc/profile.d/utf-8.sh

I'm using a CVS mutt from 2004-02-01:
