With that answer I got rid of the perl warnings, but the LC_ALL
overrode the LC_MESSAGES setting, so I got English messages in mutt
again. My final (I hope...) answer is to leave LANG out. After all I
found that the LC_MESSAGES setting is enough to make mutt and the
shell happy. So now I have

LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-1        <- to make native characters available
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.ISO8859-1     <- to make native language texts available  


Just wanted to share this...

Bye,
Bjoern
