How about using the standard redirector?

utf8tocp won't help there, as it converts UTF-8 to 8-bit codepages. Are
you sure that PMAIL handles only 7-bit ("low ASCII") characters?

utf8tocp converts UTF-8 text to a codepage (and vice versa), it knows
nothing about header declarations. That's for you to fix manually. Or
leave it as-is, perhaps PMAIL will ignore the declaration if it assumes
a specific codepage anyway.
