What editor do you use with mutt?  In vim you can enter =C2=B0 by pressing
Ctrl+K, D, G.  In X you can enter =C2=B0 by pressing Compose, ^, 0.  In GNO=
ME
you can enter =C2=B0 by pressing and holding Ctrl+Shift, then typing uB0.

Just don't confuse the degree sign (=C2=B0, U+00B0) with the masculine
ordinal indicator (=C2=BA, U+00BA) or with superscript zero (=E2=81=B0, U+2=
070).

Alternatively, you could always convert the temperatures to Kelvin ;-)
