Even more Aarrgghh!!, the copies of the iso-8859-1 and utf-8 messages
in my sentmail folder have the incorrect charset headers too!  So it
*appears* to be mutt that is guessing the charset and adding the header
itself as nothing else is involved in saving a copy of the message
according to the "set record" is it?

How does mutt set about deciding what charset header to add?
