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. The MailMate documentation says: "MailMate can handle almost 
any kind of character encoding when receiving emails. This includes 
numerous workarounds for wrongly encoded emails."

I'll submit this as a bug in the Issue Tracker. I'm using build 5918.
