Latin1 mail with umlauts and sz in sender's name mail body renders fine here in mutt in xterm in the UTF-8 locale. So you should be able to get it to work. I suspect misconfiguration rather than a bug, though a bug is of course a possibility. What does your local configuration look like? Are you aware of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#locales ? Do you have any charset-related options in muttrc, like 'set charset' or 'set assumed_charset'? Mutt should be able to auto-detect such settings nowadays. Does adding 'set rfc2047_parameters=yes' help? If none of this helps, can you (privately) forward or bounce mail to me that fails to display correctly?
