It appears then, to MacOS Mail.app, in my AOL IMAP Sent folder with MIME headers:

... and the content correctly shows Cyrillic characters.

But in my Inbox, with similar MIME headers:
--4SFOXa2GPu3tIq4H
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Iso8859-5
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="ISO8859-5.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
...
and the content is definitely not Cyrillic:
       0  16  32  48  64  80  96 112 128 144 160 176 192 208 224 240
       0  10  20  30  40  50  60  70  80  90  a0  b0  c0  d0  e0  f0
0  0                       &   -   �   �   �   �   �   {   }   \   0
1  1                   �   �   /   �   a   j   ~   �   A   J      1
2  2                   �   �   �   �   b   k   s   �   B   K   S   2
3 3 � � � � c l t � C L T 3

How are those listings obtained? Might the thing presenting those listings be interpreting the iso8859-5 data as the local character encoding and thus misrendering?
