Okay, maybe it will be improved after someone adding Unicode support.
I also tried MultiMail in Linux, with luit's help it can show UTF-8.
Run this command with LC_ALL/LANG set to en_US.UTF-8:
$ luit -encoding UTF-8 mm
Although UTF-8 charmap was selected, MultiMail currently still garbled some
UTF-8 characters. Adding additional layer of UTF-8 to UTF-8 conversion by luit
seems to be a workable solution.
To show CP437 ASCII art, luit's CP437 to UTF-8 conversion looks good:
$ luit -encoding CP437 mm
