Comment (by cal@…):

 Yes, mutt-devel is expected to not have this problem, because it doesn't
 have the commit that changes this. Instead of updating mutt-devel to 1.7.0
 (which has the same problem) we switched to neomutt based on mutt 1.7.0.

 A "C" locale not supporting special characters is not surprising to me.
 I'm not sure how mixing a single "C" locale into others interacts.

 I do not really know why some combinations don't work. The `mosh` remote
 shell client, for example, aborts on connection with LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
 telling me that this is an invalid locale (even though
 `/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/LC_CTYPE` exists). We should probably report this
 to the developers of mutt, but the answer may well be that there's a
 problem with our locale configuration rather than with their code.
