I had that problem too with many messages that were sent in a user defined
character set whereas the standard norm seems to be ISO-8859-1 as you can
see from the message properties. OE5 seems to handle it but displays in a
large and strange font.

It is a fact though that people choosing to send in non-standard format
should realise that the text may not be readable to all.
