Then for goodness sake fix your mutt config so that it labels utf8
text as utf8 rather than labelling it as iso8859-1.. or maybe you
finally already did? :)

Yes. All localized strings must either be in the help files (which are
translatable and configurable encoding at compiletime) or must be
ascii-only.

I understand not wanting to have to write your name wrong, but
contributors without an almost-ascii alphabet are already forced to do
so. However if you'd rather use the help files for it, I'd be ok with
that too. I just don't want non-convertible text in MPlayer since it
will look wrong on most users' systems, unfortunately. :(
