[Bug 490027] Re: vm: vm is fooled by Windows encoding

Is there some reason why this is not the default? You don't generally
have to hunt around for encoding systems in other mail readers just to
see your email.

vm: vm is fooled by Windows encoding

You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Invalid
Status in “vm” package in Debian: Confirmed

Bug description:
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.
