Sorry. This is an artifact of my experiments with the charset variable.
I wrote the message originally with mutt-0.95.3 (with the wrong
setting), postponed it and continued with mutt-0.79 to be able to type
the characters into the subject line.

I'm aware of what the charset types are. I simply forgot to reject from
my last experiments. iso-8859-1 was the first charset I tried out.

I tried this now, but this doesn't help anything.
However, just using mutt-0.79 in place of 0.95.3 displays everything
fine. If I set pager=less, the charset displays fine also. The problem
is just within mutt. What else could I have done wrong?
