## 3.4. Defining aliases for character sets

Usage: `charset-hook` alias charset
Usage: `iconv-hook` charset local-charset

The `charset-hook` command defines an alias for a character set. This is useful to properly display messages which are tagged with a character set name not known to mutt.

The `iconv-hook` command defines a system-specific name for a character set. This is helpful when your systems character conversion library insists on using strange, system-specific names for character sets.
