Viewing Cyrillic, Greek, or Russian characters doesn't work for me in
"xterm" on Debian 7.8.0, either in mutt or vim. Mutt just renders them
invisible, and vim displays the above line as:

-D0-90-D0-92-D0-A1-D0-A0-D0-9E-D0-9C-D0-98-D0-A1

( I did s/-/=/g , so as not to render as sent in your environment.)

If I use "xterm -lc", then mutt displays the above characters as
Russian, confirming a utf-8 locale AFAICT, but vim still gives the "=xx"
stuff, both within mutt, and invoked directly in the "xterm -lc". Hmmm,
is this relevant?:

$ echo $LOCALE

I.e. it's not set.

Alas, trying "xterm -en UTF-8" doesn't make any difference. Mutt still
works, and vim fails.

Does anyone know what it takes to get vim to display Cyrillic, Greek, or
Russian characters in a (utf-8 enabled) xterm? (Note: Vim encoding while
editing this post, in which the Russian won't display, is
"encoding=utf-8")

There's no problem with Danish: åæø
or German: ßöä
