Actually, Outlook is behaving in a perfectly reasonable manner given
the character set (not the encoding)in the message header:

 
MIME-Version: 1.0 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-6" <== HERE
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 
Content-Disposition: inline 

The character set should have been ISO-8859-1 (not 6).

I suspect other e-mail clients tend to be more tolerant of this type of
error, but you can't really say Outlook is doing the wrong thing here.
(Well, I suppose you could if you really wanted to, but you wouldn't be
right!)
