    I've seen this proposed in other threads, with the same meaning you
commented. But if I try it here, "" works like a joker for all specified
or unspecified charsets in any MIME message. So mutt sees *all* mails,
polish, russian, japanese, or even simply Latin-9 ones (with "¤" Euro),
as if they were Latin-1. Only non MIME messages are left aside. That's
surely not a wanted behaviour, in the general case; at least it's a big
regression in functionality. Or am I doing something wrong?

    To get the commented behaviour here, I must set:

charset-hook us-ascii iso-8859-1

    But obviously this matches not only MIME unspecified charset
(condidered per RFC as defaulting to Ascii), but also those labeled
US-Ascii.


Bye!    Alain.
