Subject: Re:  New: mime encoded mail with eight bit characters are displayed wrong

Quoted-printable encoded data must not contain 8 bit characters. So 
basically the message you received was not correctly encoded. Maybe 
your mail server automatically converted the quoted-printable to 8 bit 
(as indicated in the Content-Transfer-Encoding header of the message) 
but forgot to change the Content-Transfer-Encoding header of the 
message part accordingly.

It's disputable whether the quoted-printable decoder should strip off 8 
bit characters or whether the decoder should ignore and output them. 
Marc?
