[PLUG] Appropriate LANG locale

   I've had locale set as 'C' for a long time. When I changed it to something
different (e.g., en_US.utf-8) some displays were incorrect. (I don't recall
which ones because it's been a while.) Anyway, ...

   I would like to use a locale that displays accented characters in alpine
messages. In ~/.bash_profile I exported LANG=en_US.utf-8, then sourced the
file. The collation order remained 'C', but all other variables were
changed.

   Is this the locale I want to use?

TIA,

Rich
