You didn't read what I've written: it's not always possible.

Using a different locale is acceptable and allowed by the standards.
Forcing everyone to use UTF-8 (in particular when it doesn't work
correctly) is completely stupid. You're just stubborn and it's useless to
discuss about that any further.
> Mutt should not be in the business of providing hacks to make it easy to
do the wrong thing.
Dealing with different charsets is not a hack.
> I'm not buying that. I use both xterm and gnome terminal,
These are not the only terminals. There are problems with iTerm under Mac
OS X (look at the bug reports). But also with various software (even Mutt
has some UTF-8 related bugs).
