[Pkg-mutt-maintainers] Bug#865842: Warning: Bad IDN ... in alias ...; for every single alias

OK, figured out what I was doing wrong, I was setting charset but I
was setting it after I sourced my address book file.  If I set that
back to utf-8 beforehand, it works OK.  Still, this silly, my LANG
environment variable is en_US.UTF-8, and the manual clearly states:

  Upon startup Mutt tries to derive this value from environment
  variables such as $LC_CTYPE or $LANG.

It must not try very hard, becuase:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Anyway, this is related to bug #865822 after all, and the fact I use
"reset all" as the first line of my mutt config, and this new build
does not default to utf-8 like the previous build did.
