Well, sorry about that, I sent the second mail before the ticket was
issued (assuming that if one would be issued, I would have seen it by
then).

If receiving mail containing utf-8 encoded German umlauts (but
presumably this applies at least to all iso-latin-1 letters) in either
header or body everything looks as expected up to 1.5.14 (i.e. I see
the actual umlauts), e.g.:
26 + Oct 16 service@kartonf (5.8K) Kartonfritze.de -
Bestellbestätigung
while starting from 1.5.15 I see
26 + Oct 16 service@kartonf (5.8K) Kartonfritze.de -
Bestellbestätigung
(i.e. the raw utf-8). This is true for both header and message.

That's in there to keep some 1.4.x mutts happy. I suppose this could
be done better using several muttrc-VERSION files (and symlinking for
all versions using the same file), but with currently 1.4.1i, 1.5.13,
1.5.14, 1.5.15, 1.5.16, 1.5.17 installed on this system alone (and
1.0i, 1.2.5.1, 1.3.27b, 1.4, 1.4.1 on some other systems I use) it
simply seemed easier to ignore the occasional error-message :-)
Thanks
Sven
