While mass importing an mbox I got this:

$ ... heliotrope-add ...
; forced to decode html. running html2text on 868b mime part...
end offset is 237534473
.../heliotrope/lib/heliotrope/decoder.rb:109:in `gsub': incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT (Encoding::CompatibilityError)
  from .../heliotrope/lib/heliotrope/decoder.rb:109:in `decode_rfc2047'
  from .../heliotrope/lib/heliotrope/message.rb:208:in `decode_header'
  from .../heliotrope/lib/heliotrope/message.rb:30:in `parse!'
  from bin/heliotrope-add:105:in `<main>'
