What multibyte character encoding convention is this?
Can anybody tell me what convention are these Mail headers using?
What is the convention being used here for encoding these mulitbyte
chars?

for what? It's garbage and remains garbage. ;-) Any non-ASCII characters
in the header have to be Q- or B-encoded (=?Utf-8?B?.....?=). If they are
not they will just display as the corresponding ASCII characters or the
codepage the client chooses. Maybe what you got was produced by a broken
spam creater. You can use it for rules as it is very unlikely to appear in
ham.
