Thats right. You cant do anything against wrong labeled messages - at least in
mutt. If the charset is set to us-ascii: mutt uses us-ascii!
You could use a procmail recipe to search for umlauts and change the content
type accordingly

Not really...charset defines the DEFAULT charset to display messages in your
terminal.
For outgoing messages use send_charset! But if send_charset is not defined,
mutt DEFAULTS to charset anyway...:]
In that case you are correct.
