I had posted a message on this problem several months ago.  As Dr. Browne mentions, the Universal Cyrillic Decoder is a great solution.  In my own case, I decided to switch to GMail for SEELANGS and other Cyrillic traffic and it has successfully decoded far, far more messages than my previous email reader, and it does so automatically.

  Dear Deborah,
I suggested one method: copy the mysterious text and paste it
into a Google search window. Then hit Return. Sometimes
Google is able to detect the Cyrillic letters that are
hidden behind the botched encoding.
On the other hand, sometimes Google isn't. That was true
with the sample in your forward.
There is another method and it seems to work more reliably:
open the web page http://2cyr.com/decode/
(the Universal Cyrillic Decoder)
and paste the text in. I tried that with your sample and
it worked well. But if the text has been converted to
question marks somewhere along the way, it is lost forever.
Best,
