Of course.

There were changes in the 1.3 tree that may have even been backported to
1.2.5.1 (though I doubt it; it was just a security fix).  I promise you
that there's lots of information on the mutt-users list; this has been a
persistent thorn.  [I've ignored it since I, the typical dumb American,
have no use for or appreciation of international characters, or I'd help
you myself.]
