Hmmm... Thanks for that. It *IS* 'quoted printable'.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

These headers describe the CONTENT of the message itself, not the encoding of the headers.

 These (below) are
the headers as seen in Mutt. Is there a better way to view the plain
text?

'more' from a shell prompt.  Try:

        grep -10 o3B8O6li010788 mailboxfilename | less

That 'o3B8O6li010788' bit is an SMTP id seen in the header of your example. Adjust the -10 according to how many lines before and after (or use -Bnn and -Ann for accomplish similar) the matched line. This is generally sufficient to get a "window" into the mailbox. No decoding will be performed, so you should see it nice and raw.
