So, what client are you playing with? If I want to read this msg as UTF-7, I
must configure the mine (Entourage) to read "incoming messages without a
specific charset" as UTF-7, or configure a rule to "change charset of
email@hidden's incoming messages to UTF-7.

Cool!

Shouldn't this work for UTF-8?

At source code, I can see this at your msg:
+AKs- & +ALs (UTF-7?)
+; (plain ascii, supossed to be ISOLatin1)
,4,* (UTF-8)
or =C2=AB=C2=BB

Couldn't the manager of this list add a simple

Content-type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" (or 7 ;-)

to the header, though it isn't true? Non-special characters should still
work, don't?
