locale is ignored for displaying text (no charset conversion)?

It seems that mutt is ignoring the locale setting when displaying text:

My terminals have native ISO-8859-1 (latin1) and locale is set properly.
But mails with a different character set are not converted into ISO-8859-1
when displaying. For example, UTF-8 is displayed binary and not in
ISO-8859-1. This looks like:

My setup is:

recompile with +ENABLE_NLS (is it not the default ?)

Ok, I have now:

framstag@fex:/sw/src/mutt-1.5.18: ./mutt -v | grep NLS
+ENABLE_NLS -LOCALES_HACK +HAVE_WC_FUNCS +HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET +HAVE_LANGINFO_YESEXPR

but this does not help. The UTF chars are still displayed binary and not
converted to ISO-8859-1.

--enable-nls only sets status/error messages etc. to your
language; unrelated to the problem.

What gives:

:set ?charset

at the Mutt command-line?

charset="iso-8859-1"

I'm at a loss of an explanation then because the headers you
quoted seemed to be ok, ie. no need for $assumed_charset etc.
Sorry for not being of much help.
