Problems with accented characters in 'more' and 'mail'

Hello,

I'm having a problems getting french accented characters to display
properly when I use the 'more' and 'mail'. The characters display OK when I
use 'cat' or 'vi'.

For example, if I edit a file with vi (call it foo.french) and that file
contains:

Le démon sera ici cet été

If I type more foo.french I get something like:

Le dimon sera ici cet iti.

If I mail the file and read it with mail, I get the same kinda junk.

Does anyone know how to fix it ?
