RMAIL didn't decode a mail, which contained a
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=euc-jp
header. Instead it decoded it as iso-latin-1-unix. I wanted to
reproduce the bug, so I saved the mail into INBOX format. But when I
opened the inbox format mail, the coding system was detected correctly.
I don't understand how this can happen. When receiving and opening
mails, the decoding is done by the same routine,
rmail-convert-to-babyl-format.
This is difficult to debug and rmail.el is extremly ugly. If just
someone with more knowledge of rmail could have a look at it...
I attach the INBOX format mail as buggy.mail.gz, the wronlgy converted
BABYL format mail as buggy.xmail.gz. If you want to try to reproduce
the mail retrieval bug, you can subscribe to the mailinglist, that's
sending those mails:

(I'm retrieving the mails using a pop3 po:<...> mailbox)
