You may be onto something. I had a similar (but smaller) problem with a Danish-speaking yahoo mailing list: A lot of the emails said they had US-ASCII encoding, but they *really* were iso-8859-1 (yahoo email is ...bad...). End result: The Danish letters 'æøå' and their uppercase equivalents 'ÆØÅ' showed up as question marks (I hope they display OK in this mail!) Since iso8859 is a superset of ascii (I think), adding "charset-hook US-ASCII iso-8859-1" to my .muttrc solved the problem for me. Perhaps the same solution will work for you? -- Karl E.
