I think my -1 has already been counted.

Acting like other MUA's on this doesn't match nmh's behaviour on other
transgressions and I'd prefer the wrong encoding not to be swept under
the carpet.  nmh users are often savvy enough that they can chase back
to the creator, e.g. FLOSS PHP library, but only once they become aware
of the problem.
