On further investigation, it looks like the problem is actually that
the particular message I have been using as my test case has the
following header:

          Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

If I hand-edit the charset to ISO-8859-1 and repost it to my
mailspool, mutt shows it correctly.  So, it looks like the problem is
more that this message is lying about what it contains than anything
to do with mutt or my config.

Is there any way to tell mutt "any message from this mailing list
should be considered ISO-8859-1 no matter what it claims to be"?
