Just a little nice to have:
There is an important difference in ISO-8859-[1|15] and win1252 as
anyone knows who uses real operating systems.
unfortunately most windows muas, especially Outlook, Word and
descendents use win1252 and declares ist as ISO-8859-1, though they use
frequentliy characters which are in win1252 but not in iso-8859-1
Wouldn't it be nice to have some intelligent switching like
if x-Mailer contains ('windows') and x-Mailer contains ('outlook',
'word', 'mapi', 'IIS' ) and ( Content-Type->charset is ISO-8859-1 or
Content-Type->charset is ISO-8859-15) then set Content-Type->charset =
'win1252'.
?
most senders of those mails are knowliedge resistant, most of them
don't understand that annoying problem to have to switch the encoding
because it isn't declared correctly.
