It's currently set to 8859-1. In the past it has been other things,
as I tried to find better settings.

I found one message that mutt gets wrong, and it seems to be from kintera's
mass mailing
software, sending text/html emails (ugh! but i do want this email...)
encoded in utf-8:
headers>>
Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Sender: IMTD_KIN162677330@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<</headers
Setting $charset to utf-8 did not make the em-dash that rendered wrong
in this email go away.
