I subscribe to a newsletter that often includes proper names from

And when I view the same message in Apple Mail, I see this -- which
is clearly what the writer intended me to see.
Is there some setting I can tweak to get MailMate to display these
characters as intended?
The message in question contains the following line:
```Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1```
This seems as if it should be enough to prompt MailMate to display it
correctly.
Except it's wrong. The original message should say "charset=utf8", not
"charset=iso-8859-1". The original sender's email program got it wrong.
It would be nice if MailMate had the feature that many web browsers
have: A choice in the "View" menu that lets you force the charset to
something other than what the sending email program (mistakenly) said it
was. But this is a bug on the sending end, not MailMate's.
