Looks like there is not a callback API function that easily
allows you to do this.  The location for such a hook would be
in the read_mail_header() routine in mhamain.pl.  And looking
at it, it appears a hook would need to be done within
readmail::MAILread_file_header().

Are you talking about raw 8-bit characters or non-ASCII encoded
characters?  If the latter, you can use CHARSETCONVERTERS and/or
TEXTENCODE to deal with it.

If the former, you may better off have a pre-filter before mhonarc
is invoked that strips out 8-bit chars in headers.
