In src/print.c, function prepare_plaintext(), we try to find the body's 
charset using libbalsa_message_body_get_parameter(body, "charset"). If this 
returns not NULL, we use this charset to convert to UTF8, otherwise we use 
ISO-8859-1. If there is a charset, but iconv_open() failes, we fall back to 
us-ascii (which afaik is plain rfc822 and does *not* contain any chars >= 
128). The same happens for the header lines in function print_info_new().

So, in short, I can only imagine that iconv_open() failed due to a strange 
charset returned, but I have no idea why you should get something wrong 
there. Maybe you want to run balsa in a debugger, set a breakpoint to 
prepare_plaintext(), and check what the charset actually *is* and if 
iconv_open() works?

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
