Now I see.

I also see why I didn't think mutt could handle that encoding. I just
received a message that "didn't work". It had a From: header of

=?ISO-8859-1?q?=22H=E5kon= =?ISO-8859-1?q?_?= =?ISO-8859-1?q?Brug=E5rd=22= <haakon@???>

and mutt (correctly, I now see) displayed the raw text rather than
decoding it. I edited the message so that it had

=?ISO-8859-1?q?=22H=E5kon_Brug=E5rd=22?= <haakon@???>

instead and mutt decoded the name properly (well, I assume properly,
it is decoded at least). (FWIW that message was created by 'pan')
