You must be a lawyer ;-)
Well, i don't need a screenshot, as my mozilla also *displayed* it 
correctly. But this "conversion" is done by the clientsoftware.
Did you also proof the mail source code?

What i assume (as i do not use faxmail) is, that faxmail gets the 
mailsource and has no routines to handle the ISO-8859-1 encoded 
characters in the mail header.

As i understood it (and i may be wrong), it can't handle the 
8bit-characters of the ISO-8859-1 characterset in the mail header (the 
"envelope" part in "man faxmail").
The mailbody is processed according to MIME specifications, so the 
necessary conversions are done.
