I guess your patch has the same goal as $assumed_charset patch
( http://www.emaillab.org/mutt/download15.html.en ).
$assumed_charset takes comma-separated candidates, so that
mutt tries them all. This has already been approved by the CVS
commiter Thomas Roessler. So you will soon be able to use it.
