They do server-side decoding.  It would take a tremendous amount of
effort to try and expose the underlying character set directly to the
browser given that the MIME part also has transport-encoding occurring
(base64 or quoted-printable), may have higher level things like
format=flowed going on, and may need multipart/related cid-protocol
transforms going on.
