Knowing nothing about the rest of your setup, I'll tell you what I've
done when I had the same issue. On FreeBSD, I've set following
environment variables to get mutt to display Norwegian and Russian
characters at the same time:

    MM_CHARSET=UTF-8
    LANG=en_US.UTF-8

To see these characters properly, I also had to tell PuTTY (SSH client
for Windows) that incoming text is in the UTF-8 encoding  (go to Window
-> Translation to select it).

G'luck,
