The simple (but not gui friendly) solution would be saving your mail as 
plain text, and then run the iconv command (coming with glibc) on that file, 
e.g.

iconv -f ISO-8859-2 -t UTF8 -o winbloze.txt linux.txt

Works perfectly for me to convert to/from Macintosh format....

BTW, it might be nice to have some kind of "configurable export filters" in 
balsa, which may take something like a pipe, so you could do exporting 
semi-automatic.

Hope this helps,
