Hello Rocco, Sven,

It's not related to $assumed_charset at all, but to the
msyk.iconvhook.1 bugs fixing patch by Masayuki Moriyama applied on
2007-03-06. Before this bugfix, iconv-hooks were nearly never
functionning. Msyk made iconv-hooks actually work.
As you noticed, Sven's muttrc contained 3 harmfull iconv-hooks.
Those were not triggered before, but began working and thus hurting
after 2007-03-06.
Sven: Under Linux, Glibc, or anything using libiconv, iconv-hooks
are not required. Under Solaris without libiconv, perhaps; But then the
regexp should be the stricter ^iso-8859-1$ to avoid unwantedly matching
iso-8859-15. Our fault: The example files in contrib/iconv/ all contain
too lax regexps.
Bye! Alain.
