I can see the Euro sign in an xterm command prompt.

But not in mutt if I run it in an xterm. If mutt is in KDE's konsole
(1.6.4) I can see the ¤ (Euro) sign .. So for me it looks like an
xterm issue ... IIRC this is an old issue for mutt here ... Never
had the time to explore that ... But I've other font issues with mutt
as well ..
