#3471: utf-8 not detected

 Reporter:  killasmurf86  |       Owner:  mutt-dev
     Type:  enhancement   |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  major         |   Milestone:          
Component:  mutt          |     Version:  1.5.20  
 Keywords:  utf-8         |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I wanted to setup random signature with custom fortunes (using fortune),
 the problem was that mutt was treating my native characters as binary data
 and converted them to escape sequiences...

 My localization environment
 LC_COLLATE=lv_LV.UTF-8
 LC_TIME=lv_LV.UTF-8
 LC_CTYPE=lv_LV.UTF-8
 LC_MONETARY=lv_LV.UTF-8
 LC_NUMERIC=lv_LV.UTF-8
 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
 (Don't ask, why I mix them, I need to)

 I fixed problem by setting
 set charset = "utf-8"

 however, I think mutt should auto-detect that and manual says just that:

 Using mutt 1.5.21 on FreeBSD
