Somewhere I have a setting that causes mhshow to start an xterm in UTF-8
locale. It fails miserably when I'm ssh'ed in from my tablet, which
doesn't run X.  

obiwan-[~] mcr 3690 %echo $LANG
C
obiwan-[~] mcr 3691 %env | grep LC
LC_TIME=en_DK
LC_ALL=C

(en_DK gets the dates sane YYYY-MM-DD, while still being english.
glibc en_CA fails to observe proper ISO8806 or whatever it was, date
format)
