The ellipsis "…" U+2026, and en-dash "–" U+2013, do not exist in
Latin-1, but in CP-1252 charset. It's a bug in the sending mailer to
send CP-1252 wrongly labelled Latin-1.
Report the bug where appropriate, workaround the lie with
"charset-hook ^iso-8859-1$ windows-1252", and get a better terminal with
CP-1252 or UTF-8 charset, or use //TRANSLITerations.

If "mutt -v" shows "+HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET", then remove that
$charset declaration from muttrc.
Bye! Alain.
