it's hard to tell from this.  the charset appears missing
entirely.  it may be that upas has misparsed the header.

you may need to read all of mail/mbox/40/rawheader
to find if the charset was really set to something.

if it is misparsed, i'd like to fix the problem.  you could
send me the raw header offline.
