Well, here are the charset-related entries from my .muttrc (1.3.20i):

set locale="C"		       # I prefer english UIs to the German translations...
unset allow_8bit  
set charset="iso-8859-1
set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf8"

I'm running mutt in a gnome-terminal using 

-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

and Umlauts are displayed without a problem.

regards,
Volker
