I used to see these with the pan newsreader. The fix was to add:
setenv LC_ALL en_GB.ISO_8859-1
setenv LC_CTYPE en_GB.ISO_8859-1
setenv LANG en_GB.ISO_8859-1
to ~/.cshrc.
You'll need to change en_GB, obviously (en_US??), check
/usr/share/locale/

If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
