I was trying to parse the mail headers to see if there is an indication of what sort of email program was being used. If Pine indeed is the one, the that could be an explanation; if I understand correctly, it has lapsed in development and possibly cannot handle the utf-8 unicode standard. However, some well-meaning individuals have continued development of pine and their work is known as Alpine. (The University of Washington owns the copyright to the pine, but Alpine is probably some sort of clone, governed by prevailing open-source copyright authority/standard.)

If you have access to Pine, you may also be able to use mutt, a similar email program to [Al]pine, that is able to handle the utf-8 standard.
