This worked for me:
1) edit /etc/locale.gen and set up so locales. I use
# Examples:
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AU ISO-8859-1
Which should give me the std US settings as a fallback and the Aus settings as my preferred.

2) As root run locale-gen to regenerate/setup the locales you uncommented in locales.gen

3) Try exmaile again.

(on day 4 of Arch use. I now have 3 ex Ubuntu machines running Arch. It seems so much "zippier" the Ubuntu and pacman seems as good as apt-get to me!)

thanks, that worked beautifully....now if i can fix my timezone settings

Cool.

There's definitely a learning curve with Arch that was need for Ubuntu, I'm now trying to figure out why my DVDs don't auto mount and I get a dbus error

My timezone is set in /etc/rc.conf as TIMEZONE="Australia/Sydney"
You can search the forum/wiki for the directory structure holding the timezone files and check that the country and zone you want exist as directories of that one. Hope that makes sense.
