New description:

 {{{
 Mutt chokes on attached spam message with charset=iso-8859-8-i.
 I don't want to read it. But Mutt should give me the opportunity to delete
 it.
 As matters stand, I have to <C-Z> to kill mutt, and then cumbersomely
 search for the message in the mailbox to delete it manually.
 Or open the mailbox in a non-UTF environment.
 This happens independently of $mbox_type.
 The otherwise (in an UTF-environment) indispensable assumed-charset patch
 is of no help here.
 >How-To-Repeat:
 $ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 $ mutt -F /dev/null -f charsetfailmsg
 >Fix:
 Unknown
