Full steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Backup emails from GMail account: ./gyb --email [email protected] --local-folder "/my/local/folder/" --search "after:2013/12/31 before:2015/01/01 smaller:16M"
  2. Restore to Google group in GSuite: ./gyb --email [email protected] --service-account --use-admin [email protected] --action restore-group --local-folder "/my/local/folder/"
  3. Special characters (e.g. ä, ö, ü) in e-mails that had been sent to GMail with the following encoding will appear scrambled in the restored mails:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Expected outcome:
Special characters should be displayed in the same way as in the original message as seen in the GMail account.

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):
ä is displayed as ï¿œ
ö is also displayed as ï¿œ
ü is also displayed as ï¿œ
