Actually I didn't quite look closely enough here, since my message as 
received via the mailing list is printed correctly for me, too. Others 
still aren't, though, and it seems like these don't specify a character 
set for the text. In other words, messages that have for instance

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=ISO-8859-1

are printed correctly, while text is missing as described earlier from 
ones with just

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Perhaps earlier releases assumed ISO-8859-1 while the current doesn't?
