Bug Description

The function vm-mime-charset-to-coding returns 'undecided for unknown character sets. This causes vm-mime-charset-internally-displayable-p to assume that all character sets are internally displayable. How can this work?

Where is vm-mime-charset-to-coding ? I can't see it.

Oh, it's something new.

Offhand, I'd suggest returning nil, not 'undecided.
'undecided means that Emacs is to use its heuristics to determine the
appropriate system for the stream or buffer. It's not a real
coding-system, and should not be returned as such by any user level
function dealing with coding-systems, as far as I know.
