I know of two workarounds: (1) revert to version 1.8xx of libiconv; (2)
grab the mutt sources and re-compile/re-link against the current version of
libiconv.
Path (2) has worked for me; I used path (1) for a while, but it is likely that
other things that depend upon libiconv would become broken, so this is likely
to be a less-good solution.
..good luck...dac
