Yes, and I find that annoying.  Most of the time I want to sent non-MIME
ASCII emails and I do that just fine.  Sometimes my English email will
mention money, £42, and if I forget to "mime" at whatnow I send a broken
email.  So far, markus' approach of catching this fourth case sounds
good.  What's currently happening is wrong AFAICS.

Cheers,
Ralph.
