MS Outlook has a nasty habit of mislabeling the charset of its

=v= Some older versions send out mail that does't specify a
charset, so many apps assume the text is ASCII (which is how the
standard works) though of course it's Windows-1252.
You should be able to alias us-ascii also:
<CharsetAliases>
cp1252; us-ascii
cp1252; iso-8859-1
</CharsetAliases>
=v= Those particular characters in Windows-1252 violate charset
standards anyway.
However, it appears that cp1252 is a proper subset of iso-8859-1
from a code-point persective.
