That arrived here corrupt... in MIME quoted-printable encoding it's easy to see: <i>Ruse:</i> =D0=BF=D1=AE=80=D0=C1=8F =D0=BE=D0=B1=D1=AF=D0, =D0=BF=D1=B0= =80=D0=D1=D0=80 Looking only at the most significate bits of each byte that are necessary to decode UTF-8, =D0=BF (binary 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx) is a valid character =D1=AE (binary 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx) is a valid character =80 (binary 10xxxxxx) isn't the beginning of a character and so on. Although labelled as UTF-8 in both the MIME body part's Content-type header field and in the included META tag, this certainly isn't. OTOH, the KOI8-R in the first body part came through correctly. Note that the putative UTF-8 encoding of the words is *shorter* than the KOI8-R encoding, while actually it should be *longer*. Did you apply some conversion in the wrong direction??
