I thought this was in bugzilla already, but I guess it wasn't. It is
now:

That was there. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921

The camel-charset-map stuff is only used for picking encodings for
sending. Translating incoming mail to UTF8 is done with iconv(), so the
problem is either that your system's iconv doesn't handle that, or that
it only recognizes the "cp1251" name, in which case I guess we should be
translating them?

OK. Bugzilla'd. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992
