I don't know whether it's the listserver software that screws the MIME
headers, or whether it is Michael Larsen's KMail mailer.

But as far as I know, it is not correct according to the MIME standard to
send 8bit characters as Content-Type: text/plain, without specifying the
used character set, in this case: charset=iso-8859-1.

I am reading this on a PowerMac with Eudora (actually, I'm connected from
home through a NetBSD NAT/PAT firewall running on a Quadra800) and Eudora
is apparantly very strict about expecting a charset parameter to the
Content-Type. Without it, it is free to do what it currently does, namely
showing the 8bit characters as Macintosh characters.

Also, I wonder why the Content-Transfer-Encoding header appeared three times?

Are there other NetBSD/mac68k or macppc users out there?
