| Tell the sender to use a mail client that is not broken. The mail doesn't
| contain any charset information, and because we can't guess the actual
| charset, we have to assume that it's ascii.

Just to elaborate on Jan's answer a bit more, here is the MIME headers for
the part you are trying to display:

------=_NextPart_000_0046_01C38F27.0BFCF430
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

So not only is there no character set information in Content-Type, but the
message is in 8bit transfer encoding which is invalid for transport across
the Internet (see RFC 2045).
