Well, you _can_, though the right thing to do would be to complain to 
Yahoo etc.
Most (if not all) the broken mail we received were using CP-1252 (a Windows
ISO-8859-1 extension, probably from Outlook), so we changed the default
character set here as a quick fix:

lib/Horde/MIME/Part.php:define('MIME_DEFAULT_CHARSET', 'cp1252');

So far it seems to have solved the problem (until someone sends a broken mail
with a different character set, I guess.. :)
