You can make it always generate utf-8 by editing Antiword.pm and 
changing the text around line 200 to say this:
   $parententity->attach(     Type => "text/plain",
                              Charset => "utf-8",
                              Encoding => "8bit",
                              Disposition => "attachment",
                              Filename => $attachfile,
                              Path => "$dir/$unpackfile");

(note the "Charset" setting). Then just edit the setting in 
MailScanner.conf to say
Antiword = /usr/bin/antiword -f -m UTF-8.txt

and that's all you need to do. If you find this works okay, that's what 
will go in the next release.
