Public bug reported:

Package: vm
Version: 8.0.12
Severity: wishlist

It appears that one of the OS X email apps, and/or possibly other Windows
mailers, insist on adding a 'something-or-other-1252' encoding to messages.

When that happens, VM refuses to show me the message body.  Editing the
message and manuall removing the encoding flag is all it takes.  It is silly
that I have to do that by hand -- VM should simply be told to ignore said 
encoding.
