The X-Coding-System header should be never seen in any message
received from the network.  It's something RMAIL adds when it
processes the message, but never sends it anywhere except storing it
in the processed mailbox.

The X-Coding-System header is not sent with outgoing messages.  At
least it shouldn't; if you see one, it's some bug somewhere.
