Comment (by kevin8t8):
Have you tried posting to mutt-users? Although there might be a bug in
mutt, it seems unlikely for this case. There are several users from
Germany who may be able to suggest things to try.
Mutt uses iconv to perform character set conversion, so the very first
thing I would check is if it was compiled with iconv. "mutt -v" should
report +HAVE_ICONV.
The next thing I'd check is that you haven't set anything in your muttrc
having to do with character sets. In general you don't want to try to set
this yourself. You may want to try a minimal muttrc to test with: just
enough to access the message in question.
The last thing I'd check is whether the text is representable in ISO
8859-15. Is it the entire message, or only certain parts that are
scrambled? Is it all UTF-8 messages?
