It should... However, this one is "less broken" than those I got, as there 
*are* some of the MIME headers present:

Content-type: text/plain
Mime-Version: 1.0

If I remove them, the conversion works as expected. So I'll have to look 
deeper into this... My first guess is that libmutt sees some of the mime 
headers, assumes a charset (us-ascii?), and replaces the 8-bit chars by 
"?". The result is that libbalsa_utf8_sanitize (and my patch) will never 
see the original chars. Stay tuned...

Cheers, Albrecht.
