Character set problems



I use mutt 1.5.6 (from CVS a while ago) and have recently started
having some real problems with character set inconsistencies. Mutt
seems to think that what I am sending is UTF-8, when in reality it
isn't. As long as I stick to plain US ASCII this is not a problem, but
the moment I use anything else it shows up in a very wierd fashion at
the receiving end. When I look at the mail in my `sent' mailbox it
does not appear to be a problem at first, but looking more closely the
Content-Type header says charset=utf-8 when I would like it to say
iso8859-15 (or, in a pinch, iso8859-1).

It would seem like there is a simple solution, but - perhaps because
the manual is so overwhelming - I fail to see it. (There is no section
like "check these settings if you have these symptoms".) Could someone
please point me in the right direction?
