Your mail has the following header, which indicates that
it's in 'Windows-874' encoding. I'm not sure whether that encoding name
is registered with IANA for use in MIME.

^^^^^^^^^^^
Anyway, to get your message properly recognized as in UTF-8
by other MIME-compliant mail programs (MS OE and Netscape 6.x/Mozilla,
Pine, Mutt, etc), you have to find a way to make Lotus Notes
add the correct MIME header for UTF-8 message as shown below:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: (8bit|base64|quoted-printable)
I'm not sure if that's possible in Lotus Notes, though. MS OE and
Netscape 6.x/Mozilla, Mutt and Pine work well with UTF-8 messages (for
the latter two, obviously you need to have a terminal to support UTF-8)
