Mutt incorrectly decodes IMAP modified-UTF-7 mailbox names in the delete
mailbox confirmation dialogue. I can create an IMAP mailbox "tést" and it
is displayed correctly in the browser view, but when I delete it by
pressing "d" I get:
Really delete mailbox "tést"? ([no]/yes):
ie. the UTF-7 is decoded into UTF-8 but displayed as if it where
ISO-8859-1.

Comment (by me):
I can only guess that bsd curses printw() doesn't/didn't handle utf-8
properly, because the only difference I see is that mutt_message() uses
addstr() to ultimately display on the screen.
