I fetch the mail by copying the inbox file verbatim, so I doubt it can
be that.

I debugged this some, and found that rfc2047-decode-encoded-words
is decoding header fields such as =?iso-8859-1?Q?B=C3=A9raud?=
incorrectly, using a peculiar choice of coding system, windows-1252.
That seems to come from mm-charset-to-coding-system.

Does anyone see how that could happen?
