[ILUG] Special Characters in Mutt

[ILUG] Special Characters in Mutt

Hi,

I sent an email in Irish their a few moments ago.  All appeared on my
screen beautifully with fadas (acutes) and the works.  However, when I went 
to look at it in my sent-mail, it was a mess of '?' chars instead of fada 
(acute) characters.

The header of my message has

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8

I got the reply and it was the same story.  It was as follows:

Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

My terminal is a normal gnome-terminal and uses ISO-8859-15.

Anyone off the top of their heads know what I'm doing wrong.  Is it a mutt
setting a vim setting a pager setting a terminal setting or what. In case
it helps below I'm typing small a-u with fadas

a e i o u

Gavin
