My mobile phone uses utf-8 for encoding headers, and I can't tell it
to use something else. This means that I easily get a few e-mails in
my Exmh folders with utf-8 encoded headers. What happens (with nmh
1.0.4) if I set MM_CHARSET to utf-8 is that all "=?UTF-8?B?" etc. are
removed from the text string. The base64 sequence is also decoded, but
the non-us-ascii characters therein do not appear as they should.

But the quote file (Mail/@) seems to contain the decoded characters?

Another quoted-printable issue: If a Send in SEdit fails and I
click on the re-edit draft button, the message comes up again
with quoted-printable encodings (if quoted-printable was set for
the draft message). This might actually be one reason for having
quoted-printable set to never in the SEdit preferences.

But that's what happens? I can't see the images being included in the
quote file.
