This does happen, say with evil webmails. Please show us "grep -A1
^Content-Type:" and one or two umlauted words out of the source of a
wrong mail: There may be a magic charset-hook workaround.

Works for me: I can enter ¤uro at subject prompt, then quote and
enter ¤uro in Notepad, and later Mutt correctly converts them to
Latin-9. You need a CP-1252 editor though: The fabulous edit.com doesn't
seem to cooperate.
The nice thing with chcp 1252 and Mutt is that you can perfectly
read full Latin-1, and also complete Latin-9, and of course CP-1252.
Probably all you'll ever need. Only UTF-8 gives yet more.
Bye! Alain.
