This did it for me in the end: charset-hook ^us-ascii$ cp1252 charset-hook ^iso-8859-1$ cp1252 set assumed_charset="cp1252" The problem was not my locale, which was set correctly, but that the messages did not specify a charset.

Usually the ^M characters get filtered out along the way but obviously in this one case that's not happening. I seem to remember there is a mutt workaround to make the ^M disappear but someone else will have to enlighten you on that front. -- Chris Green

It makes reading mails much more pleasant as useless stuff like TOFU, overlong quotes, multiple empty lines, etc. get filtered out.

charset wiki w3m command
I believe the command in the wiki at: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Charset is out of date. w3m no longer has the -I switch for charset. If there is a viable replacement command for w3m I would use it. -j
