Using "Jaegermeister" is locale independent.
Mutt (and any recent user agent) should be able to recognize character encodings as defined in a mail header and translate it into whatever locale is used. Of course it can not display characters that don't have a representation in the encoding used by the locale or in the font you are using. But, it should not display some other characters (like a Cyrillic capital "D" instead of a German "a" umlaut). The whole character mess is going on and on. I can only encourage everybody to just use UTF-8 as character encoding. Which user agents are left that can not deal with that?
