How do you know that the xterm *is* ISO-8859-1?

If you tried using xterm with UTF-8 before, and you got garbage, it's
possibly because you were not using a UTF-8 font.  If you want to
check that, add this line to your .Xdefaults file:

XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*

Hopefully, you will have a font that matches that on your system.
Then, at the shell, type this command:

$ xrdb -merge .Xdefaults

Then start a new Xterm, and see if mutt works right.
