Hi Laura,

> 374  06/01 Jacob Hallén       Fang Yuan Shi Wu<<S?dermannagatan 37 >>

I would guess the `From' header encoded `Hallén' and nmh was happy to
decode.  Judging by the single question mark, I think the body has a
single byte for the `ö', but that isn't valid for its stated encoding,
e.g. UTF-8.

It would be useful to have these headers,

    From
    Content-Type
    Content-Transfer-Encoding

and the start of the body from the email's file, i.e. without nmh's
interpretation.  That may need a `cat -A' or similar to have the odd
byte be representable.
