Some of the mails do declare an encoding (charset=ISO-2022-JP, for instance, in the folder I am currently playing with), so I guess playing with assumed_charset will not work here. Anyway, setting other variables like file_charset has not worked. But maybe I should be playing with gnome-terminal settings simultaneously, and see if there is some combination of things that works... I don't know. Anyway, I'll keep experimenting.

You'd think I would have thought of the gnome charmap thing myself. The problem, it seems is that the fonts I installed didnt have glyphs for the characters I was trying to use, or they werent mapped to the right unicode characters but to the normal latin character set instead, replacing the normal a,b,c,etc with japanese characters.
