FWIW, I looked at mutt and it's fallback if the locale is US-ASCII but the characters are 8bit is to output "unknown-8bit" as the charset. Seems like a reasonable idea to me.Isn't that just punting the problem downstream, forcing others to investigate unknown-8bit, probably with suspicion; "Is it trying to trigger some flaw?"? Better to plug foulness at the source and refuse to produce it IMO. I can't see why it's a valid thing to attempt in the modern day.
I'm with Ralph on this. After two decades of MIME, it is inexcusable to get this wrong. --lyndon
