Can you please give the following information: the output of 'locale'
and the raw subject header of the message as well as the Content-Type:
header.
The only thing in the charset area which changed in 1.5.15 and later is
that assumed_charset was added, so maybe the message has raw utf8 data
not being properly declared. Does that happen for all messages in utf8
or just a few?
What type of folder is that message in? It could also be related to
header caching if the folder has a cache already. I doubt it but wiping
the cache and trying again helps if the encoding of the terminal
changes.

Ah, I only saw 'set alternates=...'. Still, the UPDATING file should be
read carefully before every udpate...
