It's probably in 2.0.latest - the 2.0 series had lots of features added to it. 
If not, maybe it's available as a separate patch. It should also be in 2.2

I believe there's also some way of doing it per-directory.

Err... we got a batch of new keyboards with the € (euro) sign on them, so I 
played about with exmh till it could use it. My tests seemed to show that most 
mailreaders which couldn't handle 8859-15 would revert to 8859-1 when reading 
those mails, so I didn't bother to change it back.
