I don't use us-ascii_override because, as ThW himself says, "here you start to 
mess around with standard compliant postings." Also, Google now seems not to 
use US-ASCII charset declarations at all, preferring ISO-Latin with QP as its 
default, so the patch may no longer be as useful as it was.

I do use minimal_multipart, and wonder how I ever managed without it, but I 
don't think it should be made "official", since it *conceals* a lack of MIME 
support in slrn rather than *fixing* it.

Question: does minimal_multipart play nicely with your own slrnmime 
extensions?
