Closed issue by guillaumecherel on mblaze repository

https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/issues/167

Description:
I've noticed that when I encrypt a message that contains special characters like à, é, send it to myself, and decrypt it, the characters don't display well anymore. Digging a bit, I see that when calling mmime on a message that contains such characters, they become unreadable (example below). How can I read them properly? Am I misunderstanding how mmime works? 

The ultimate question is how can I read special characters properly when decoding an email that was encoded with mencrypt?

For example, with the following content in the file "msgtest":

```
To: bla@bla.com
Cc: 
Bcc: 
Subject: 
From: bla@bla.com
Message-Id: <1YHLB0BBH7E5S.3KT9KOOFC0R67@bla.fr>
User-Agent: mblaze/0.5.1-13-g1ed8a0a-dirty (2019-09-05)

accents: à é
```

The mmime command gives:

```
guillaume@guillaume-portable ~/tmp> mmime < msgtest
To: bla@bla.com
Cc:
Bcc:
Subject:
From: bla@bla.com
Message-Id: <1YHLB0BBH7E5S.3KT9KOOFC0R67@bla.fr>
