I use a2ps as the print command for Mutt, which sends the file in the
encoding selected by the locales. It would be nice if the --encoding
option could accept any standard encoding, to be able to do something
like:

  a2ps --encoding=`locale | sed -n 's/LC_CTYPE=.*\.//p'` ...

In particular, a2ps should really accept the UTF-8 encoding. For the
moment, no acceptable workarounds (like using iconv) are possible due
to that.

Actually, I'd say that the default a2ps encoding should be the current
locale encoding.
