The MM_CHARSET info posted by others should help here, but as others have noted,
it's a single-valued, so you can set 8859-1 *or* 8859-15.  utf-8 *should* work,
except I rarely see that in actual e-mail.  This is actually handled in the
MH/nmh code, so there isn't much exmh can do here.

There's a few remaining warts in the display of encoded headers in the message
pane - Brent and I went around on this like 3-4 years ago and it got better, but
it wasn't perfect.  I still have a few messages that zortch out badly. If I
remember right, it had to do with having a custom color/font/etc defined for
a header, and the color/font tk tags being applied in the wrong order...

This is a generic screw-up in the way we do quoting on replies - basically, we
feed the *raw* form to 'repl' rather than the decoded.  You're seeing the
quoted-printable instead of the dequoted.  If you think that's evil, you
should see what happens when you do a 'reply' to something that was base64. ;)

It's not as easy to fix as you might think, because if anybody wants to use a
can opener on that code, they should also add/fix some other things.  In particular,
if you're replying to a multipart that has a text/plain and 2 image/jpeg parts,
we currently stuff the entire thing into the reply.

A better solution would be to only include the text/plain part in the reply. And
if somebody's really ambitious, allow for the reply to compose a quoted text/plain
and forward the two images with MIME structure intact....
