Mine doesn't. Actually, it's not Mutt who doesn't know this charset,
it's my /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ colection. However
:charset-hook windows-1251 cp1251

(I don't have a cyrillic font and ICONV (or whatever Mutt 1.1.x uses)
is smart enough to translate everything into ASCII).
Once again -- could `charset-hook' be renamed to `charset-alias' before
