I didn't see in the manual where "~h" wouldn't work -- but then I don't
really have a grasp on what the meaning of "this mode" is.

Good. I'm glad I'm not the only one of that opinion.

I need to clarify that what I had hoped Mutt would do is to act on the
Content-type/charset header. I realize that that would only apply to
replies and forwards, etc., not to newly initiated mails, but for my
purposes that would be quite valuable.

This is what I'm doing now in a way, adding specific From: headers according
to "~t" patterns. It works quite well for people I know.

Wow, I had forgotten about that. You're absolutely right.

Well, the best general pattern (i.e., not relying on an alias) I've been
able to come up with is right out of the manual: "~t .*\.jp$". Problem
is that a lot of people I know here don't speak, much less read, a word
of Japanese. :)
So, ditto to that question.
