I was confusing "charset" with "send_charset".
The following is what the Mutt man page says about
"send_charset" -- this is where I got the multi-charset setting:
6.3.244. send_charset
Type: string
Default: "us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
A list of character sets for outgoing messages. Mutt will use the
first character set into which the text can be converted exactly. If
your ````$charset'''' is not iso-8859-1 and recipients may not
understand UTF-8, it is advisable to include in the list an
appropriate widely used standard character set (such as iso-8859-2,
koi8-r or iso-2022-jp) either instead of or after "iso-8859-1".
