I tried another test and fired up mutt in dtterm instead of rxvt.
dtterm displayed the umlauts correctly, so I don't understand why the
characters get messed up in rxvt when I use the same locale settings.
BTW, here's the complete locale settings used in this experiment (but
LANG takes precedence, right?):

LANG=C
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
