I would have thougth the problem would be on sender'side.
If the sender is using a user defined charset, it will never been parsed correctly. Am I wrong?

Not quite sure i follow stefri, but if you are asking should the recipient of such a message ask the sender to change their character set (encoding) away from User Defined.  Then the answer is yes.
That is what I meant...
Thanks.

This just helped me, too!
