Is there a way to have mutt "save" mail decoded in a particular charset?
It would help to use native (vendor bundled?) tools if I could save most
or all mails in the same encoding as LC_CTYPE, ja_JP.eucJP in my case,
or possibly 7-bit iso-2022-jp. (I don't see utf-8 happening here for
another few years, so losing a few characters won't make much difference.)

Yes. Probably the best post on this subject I've ever read.
