I frequently get E-Mail (from France in particular) which doesn't
specify its charset.  I'm pretty sure it's assuming iso-8859-1. Is
there any way I can tell mutt to use a particular character set when
viewing an incoming mail 'on the fly' as it were, i.e. when I see the
mail has \xxx sequences in it?
