the charset is the encoding you want the text to be displayed in, and
the send_charset is used to determine what encoding to send with.

Since you're using a devel version of mutt, it automatically sets the
send_charset based on what the content of the mail can be converted to
without losing any data (afaik).  For example:

set charset=utf-8
set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-2022-jp:iso-8859-1:utf-8"

which automatically changes the content-type to iso-2022-jp when there
is japanese text in the mail.

pretty cool.
