Well mutt running over ssh with terminal type of 'xterm' just showed ???
for each non ascii character.  For mailing lists you are better off with
plain text.  For some languages unicode is needed, but for english it
isn't, unless apparenly your mac thinks you would like 'pretty' wide
capitals.  Fortunately it can apparently be told not to do that.

I probably should see if I can convince it to support unicode.

utf8 may be kernel friendly, but that doesn't mean it is always
application friendly.
