Okay, so I looked at this. It looks like the simplest thing to do
is make init_decoded_content() set a default CTE (probably 7bit is
appropriate).
But 8bit would be safe more often. Is there any harm nowadays
in saying that a 7bit message is 8bit?
But as always ... there's a wrinkle. It looks like we always set a
CTE of 7bit for message/rfc822 parts. But as I read it, that's not
correct if the message/rfc822 contains 8-bit characters; in that
case it should be 8bit (or perhaps binary, but we don't really
handle encoding anything in binary). Do other people agree with my
reading of RFC 2046? If so, that change should be simple.
I'd say go for it if it's simple. It certainly seems like
an improvement.
