It does of course, have iconv, but what I meant is that it's not
available as a locale.  I also looked at their list of charsets and
didn't see it there, either.  

As I said in one of my posts here, it does seems as if it would be
possible to do iconv, but I don't know if mutt can do it on the fly in
Arch.  I'm curious to try Edward's suggestion though, and use the
send_charset parameter.
