MUTT and yet another LOCALE problem

[Karl Philipp <info@karl-philipp.de>]

Hi,

In the index view (pane) of mutt certain headlines are scrambled,
In the headlines of a certain news service the string "=?iso-8859-1?q?"
occurs again and again.

The locale enviroment is defined by LANG=C and LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro.

Surprisingly the headlines are okay if the same mailbox is
analysed by an older mutt installation, that works under Debian 2.2
'potato' WITH the same settings of the locale environment vars.

Any idea how I can avoid the scrambled headlines under 

  Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1 'woody' (Kernel v2.4.18-bf2.4)
  mutt v1.3.28i (2002-03-13)
?
