You can't in this situation.  If a sender is sending you messages in  
ISO-8859-1, we can't assume they support UTF-8 so we can only return  
messages that use the ISO-8859-1 charset.  If there are unicode  
characters in there, you are out of luck.

We have discussed removing outgoing charset composition selection  
completely and sending messages either in US-ASCII or UTF-8.  But this  
would be a major change and won't happen before 5.1.
