We have discovered that setting vm-mime-default-face-charsets to t
causes problems with "utf-8".  So, this setting should not be used any
more.

For western European users, '("us-ascii" "iso-8859-1" "windows-1252")
seems to be an appropriate setting of this variable.  For the other
international users, we really don't know enough about their
environments to give any advice.

vm: vm is fooled by Windows encoding

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

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.
