Update: So the encoding issue seems to be at a "lower level" than mu in fact. I noticed that new messages come through with the correct encoding now, so I assume it was an (odd) issue of locale settings when I initialised the mail initially/copied over old messages.

(Unfortunately there does not seem to be a great way to mass re-encode messages. I can use `iconv' to convert, but it fails on messages with attachments, I think.)

best,
