 Mutt gets its charset from the output of nl_langinfo(CODESET) (if you
 have the langinfo.h header). Otherwise, it simply assumes iso-8859-1.
 So I'd say you should investigate that function. Here's a simple test
 program:

      #include <locale.h>
      #include <langinfo.h>
      #include <stdio.h>

      int main()
      {
          setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
          printf("%s\n", nl_langinfo(CODESET));
          return 0;
      }

 See what that C program prints out, and do what you must to make it
 print out the right thing (check the setlocale and nl_langinfo man
 pages).

 For what it's worth, my system doesn't recognize de_DE.iso885915. It
 DOES recognize de_DE.ISO8859-15, though. When I run
 `locale -a | grep de_DE`, all I see as options are:

      de_DE
      de_DE.ISO8859-1
      de_DE.ISO8859-15
      de_DE.UTF-8

 Run that command (`locale -a | grep de_DE`) to see what your system
 supports, and set LC_CTYPE to one of those.
