Do I have to run local-gen after or before I edit /etc/locale.conf?
My understanding is that I have to run locale-gen first and then I need
to edit /etc/locale.conf.

However, now I run it after editing, resp. it already is UTF-8.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo locale-gen

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ locale -a
C
de_DE
de_DE at euro
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE.iso885915 at euro
de_DE.utf8
deutsch
en_GB
en_GB.iso88591
en_GB.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8

POSIX

Then I restarted the computer.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ claws-mail

It's still the same.
