iconv has no prob with the other message.
Anyway, as I tried to make clear, I wasn't complaining, or
expecting immediate service or something the like, just trying to
report as precisely what happens on my machine. This won't keep
me from using Mutt, and I have workarounds; still it might put
off a potential new user with a similar setup, who encounters a
freeze without any idea of the cause.
Ok, I'll shut up now ;-)
