In https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/pull/467 I propose a patch to always
handle charsets advertised as iso-8859-1 (and aliases) as cp1252.
Copying from there:
Some MUAs, e.g., Microsoft Outlook 12.0, pretend to be sending text
encoded in iso-8859-1 when they're actually using cp1252. Being cp1252 a
superset of iso-8859-1 - characters in the range 0x80-0x9f are printable
characters and symbols in the former and control characters in the latter
- this change suggests using cp1252 instead of iso-8859-1 when doing iconv
conversion.
I understand this can be done with {{{ charset-hook ^iso-8859-1$ cp1252
}}}. Is there any reason why not doing it by default?
