Are you running Mutt on the console?  In an xterm?  What font do you
have loaded?  What font string is the xterm using?

My xterm is using this font:

    -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

As you can see, it is an iso8859-1 font, which is why I can see the
western-european characters.  I would need to run in an xterm with a
different font, to see Cyrillic characters.
