It would be nice if MailMate had the feature that many web browsers have: A choice in the "View" menu that lets you force the charset to something other than what the sending email program (mistakenly) said it was. But this is a bug on the sending end, not MailMate's.

I see that you're correct. Still, from a user's point of view, this is a problem that Apple Mail handles well while MailMate does not, which is unfortunate from a MailMate fan's standpoint.
