Description Ildar 2009-04-29 07:02:36 UTC 
A message:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R; DelSp=Yes; Format=Flowed
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
...
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable


It is nothing wrong with it, but in practice broken but widely used MUA (e.g. Outlook Exp.) ignore 2nd charset=... and shows HTML part in the wrong encoding.

I guess it's trivial to fix without any side-effects.

Thanks for the report!

That behavior is unbelievably brain-damaged!  But as you suggest, easy to fix, with no worse side-effect than using UTF-8 for the text/plain part when a simpler charset would work.

Fixed in master, please check it out!

It works. Thanks a lot for fixing quickly!
