Almost certainly this was the case, as I think the original was flagged as
a charset of UTF-8.
Note that many MUA's manage to get this worng - the RFC suggests that
a pass be made through the data and the charset promoted from ascii to
an ISO-whatever or utf or anything else only if glyphs not representable
in ascii are found....
