I suppose there's probably an easier way to do it with mutt too (rather
than my earlier thought of piping it to iconv > textfile and reading the
textfile back into the email.  :)

I've been doing a bit of cursory googling on this and it seems that if I
could get the charset in with the other charsets, I could just do
locale-gen.  

I think the fellow who originally had the difficulty should simply nag
the Arch developer, who is a mellow sort of person, to add ISO-2022.  :)


Once again, many thanks to everyone.  At this point, I think I've taken
it as far as I feel like taking it--I had thought I'd google and find
something like oh yeah, just download this into that directory and
you're done.
