This may have already been answered, but the charset of the body data  
will be in the getCharset() method of the Mime Part object (if it is a  
text/* part).

You can use something like:

  $data = Horde_String::convertCharset($part->getContents(),  
$part->getCharset(), 'UTF-8');

to do the conversion.
