I should have said this first, but if I switch the console encoding to
utf8, then the message is properly displayed. So, the utf8 'realm'
works ok. Hence, mutt is transforming an iso8859-1 message into a
(correct) utf8 one, despite the fact that my xterm is iso8859-1, and
despite the value of charset variable. Other programs like VIM work
fine.

I don't think this is a problem in my case.

How do you change a xterm encoding through a command line? osso-xterm
does not need to be restarted to change it...
