Andreas, your message came with this header:

   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-7

AFAICS, only Gnus supports this encoding.  I think we should do
something to support it in RMAIL as well.

(I'm also curious how come utf-7 was selected even though Karl's
message was encoded in Latin-9--perhaps some local priority scheme on
your box?)
