I don't know where to set the charset for mutt's internal pager or for
emacs because I use less as the pager and vim as the editor.  To
correct the display of upper-ASCII characters in less (and get rid of
the "binary file" warning) I added
    export LESSCHARSET=iso8859
to my .bashrc.  It wasn't a problem with vim's defaults.

HTH,
