   Content-Type: text/html; charset="ansi_x3.4-1968"

That character set is interesting.

The 1968 revision allows LF to occur on its own compared to 1967's where
it always had to be LF CR or CR LF, but other than that still had many
of 67's oddities, e.g. ‘!’ could be rendered as ‘!’ or ‘|’, ditto ‘^’
that was allowed to look like ‘¬’.  Probably not the creator of that
Content-Type field's intention.

I was more thinking that I was not sure that was valid, but I guess
looking at the IANA registry it's a permitted alias for us-ascii.  I am
wondering if either that was some software that did that, or some human
thought that was a good idea.
