I have tried some of the charset variables in .muttrc, but nothing.
Some of the mails do declare an encoding (charset="ISO-2022-JP", for
instance, in the folder I am currently playing with), so I guess
playing with "assumed_charset" will not work here. Anyway, setting
other variables like file_charset has not worked. But maybe I should
be playing with gnome-terminal settings simultaneously, and see if
there is some combination of things that works... I don't know.
Anyway, I'll keep experimenting.
