Hi Norm,
I don't know how to change locales. "man -k locale" does not suggest
anything. And if I did, I would not know what locale to change to:
'locale --all-locales' gives 735 options. 'locale --charmaps' gives
230 options.
As Ken said, the default for modern Linux distributions is UTF-8 anyway.
Is it possible you're overriding things in ~/.profile or similar,
setting environment variables LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, or LC_..?
As a test, try
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 mhshow
to set LC_ALL for just that one run of mhshow and see if it works
better. Then you just need to make it permanent, ideally for your whole
X session and not just a shell.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale might help if you're using
Ubuntu.
Cheers, Ralph.
