Press "v" to see the plain text of the mail and look for the 
Content-Type / charset header

If that header is not present but the mail contains non ascii 
characters, I think the mail client from the sender is broken (non 
compliant).
In that case, kmail uses the Fallback-charset as it can not know how the 
text is encoded. This is only set globally, not per folder.

No, only globally.

That might help, yes.
Have a look at http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/
I think you can then configure a kmail filter, which you can apply 
manually to feed the selected mail through altermime to add/correct the 
Content-Type / charset header.
