Mutt is pretty good about displaying different charsets, maybe even
better than some of the "graphical" mailers. Run unicode_start on
the console and load up a large console font, or run xterm -u8 with
fixed or unifont, if you need more than 512 characters, and mutt
will handle all the conversions and display just about everything.
(You may have to switch to a UTF-8 locale; I don't know, I just
always run in one.)
