Maybe the notmuch performance corpus, particularly the lkml sample.

grep -R charset= performance-test/corpus/mail/lkml | sed -e 's/^.*charset=//' -e 's/;.*//' -e 's/"//g' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sort -u

gives

euc-kr

iso-8859-1

to unpack the corpus

cd performance-test
make download-corpus
./T00-new.sh --large

probably interrupt the test once notmuch-new starts running.
