This is because mutt uses locale. Basically, mutt will ask
locale whether it is safe to print some characters (in this case, the
whole ISO-8859-1 set). If locales is happy with it, it will print them.
If not, it will put a question mark (?). The trick here is to export the
LANG environment variable, so that locale knows whether it can use ISO
8859 or not. In my case, this is done simply by
export LANG=en_GB
In your case, it is presumably done by
export LANG=en_US
