[Uday Reddy <u.s.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Manoj, I have now verified that Emacs 22 and 23 handle Windows-1252
characters perfectly fine.  There is no need to put 'windows-1252 in the
vm-mime-default-face-charsets variable.  In fact, putting it there
inhibits the proper handling of the non-ascii characters in the Windows
character set.

Our recommendation of setting the vm-mime-default-face-charsets is
therefore only meant for XEmacs users.

vm: vm is fooled by Windows encoding

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.
