It hadn't occured to me either, but that's probably more because I
don't know what I'm doing; I'm just tired of seeing so many ?'s in my
email    8-}

With that patch, it seems to work right with the env var set in the
shell invoking xterm.  I can also take out the locale: false I had in
.Xresources, since that seems to be another facet of the same deal.


If somebody who knows more than I do about the subject could review
and commit that patch, it would be great.

Is this something we should look at (given the above), or is it more a
workaround for the problem that patch solves?
