 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.
