Well, im not sure i agree about there not being a bug. When i try to
reply, i expect mutt to at least be able to use the part within <> in
the From: line. ie
From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=D8yvind?= Harboe <oyvind.harboe@xxxxxxxxx>
It might not be able to display =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=D8yvind?= Harboe, but
i would expect it to be able to use the <oyvind.harboe@xxxxxxxxx>.
But it does not. I just get a completely blank address. This means i
cannot reply. I have to cut&paste the address manually.

This is not really a mutt question:
What do you do when that locale does not exist? I probably want
en_CH.ISO-8859-1
ie my mother language is English and i'm physically located in
Switzerland.
