diacritics in emacs but not in emacsclient

User-agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-12-10)

>From my mac, working in a console window provided by Terminal, I am used to
login by ssh on a server which is running on bash.
It has GNU Emacs 23.1.1.
In emacs windows I can produce diacritics like e accent grave or o umlaut
in the usual Mac way by the option (= alt) key:
option-` e  and option-u o.
However, when I prepare an email message in mutt in an emacs window
provided by emacsclient then I cannot produce these diacritics.
The mentioned symbols now give C( and C6 .
The same happens when I copy these (correctly displayed) symbols from
a text window and paste them in my mail window: C( and  C6 .

In my .muttrc I have the line

set editor=emacsclient

There is no improvement if, instead, I put in my .bashrc the lines

export ALTERNATE_EDITOR=""
export EDITOR=emacsclient

Does anybody know a solution?
