100% correct.

  X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9)
  X-WSS-ID: 1AA494C7243707-01-01

X-headers are irrelevant (unless you are party to a private
agreement, in which case, being a lawyer, you would have read the
small print, right? :-).

  Content-Type: text/plain;  charset=csiso2022jp

This is a legal alias for ISO-2022-JP.  I don't have my IANA URL
handy, but I'm sure it's not the preferred MIME form.  Dweebs.

Only a Mutt internals expert would know, but I bet Mutt does not have
a complete internal table of all registered charset names.  Check to
see if the 0x1B characters you think you are seeing on screen aren't
really "^[" (two ASCII characters).  My bet is that Mutt displays all
ASCII characters and attempting to do something "reasonable" with
non-ASCII characters when you have filtering on and it has no method
for interpretation of the MIME-specified charset.  When you go to full
headers, I bet you also get raw text, and kterm "magically" interprets
the escape sequences and displays Japanese.

  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Irrelevant.
