Yes, we know that an invalid $charset gives such highly appropriate
error. Unfortunately it seems difficult to give better message, without
moving the knoweledge of what is valid or invalid from iconv to Mutt
itself. And this is probably not good. Any suggestion anyone?
But let's also review your settings:

It should work. Your terminal has a KOI8-R charset, right? What
give "locale" and "locale charset" commands at shell?
> I place 'set charset ="utf-8:us-ascii:koi8-r:windows-1251"' into

Nonsense: $charset doesn't take such values.
Bye! Alain.
