Can SpamAssasin convert UTF8 into ISO-8859-1?
Hello
I'm using an old e-mail client that doesn't support UTF-8, which means that
any incoming e-mails that used UTF-8 has all its accented characters turned
into garbage.
I was wondering if SpamAssasin could be configured to convert UTF-8 e-mails
into ISO-8859-1 prior to sanitization?
If not, does someone know of a POP3 proxy (Windows or Linux) that I could
add to the mix?
Thank you.

There is no proper place for that.

No. That isn't SA's job. It is a scanning tool. Please don't try to turn
it into a swiss army knife.
See if there are some options in your MTA's delivery chain for desired
mailbox encoding. The proper place for that sort of thing would be the
tool that does final delivery to the user's mailbox.

not as i know, if you asked how to convert from latin-1 to unicode it
could safely be done, but the other way around is only safe if origin
used a latin 1 terminal to write on

if one like to make it work it could convert to html so its html
entities, with does not need any unicode support at all
make this hint to the sender could solve it :=)

using chrome v42 here on windows 8.1 64bit works for me, but if it needs
to be a mail client try thunderbird

besides that no MTA / filter should magnle incoming mail to not break
signatures and so on it's technically impossible to convert UTF8 in a
sane way to ISO-8859-1 because it supports a lot of chars which are not
available and that's the purpose for UTF8
