actually, that's the default anyway.  and even if it wasn't, it
wouldn't really help, as that header would be lying if utf8 characters
were included.

the whole thing's a crock of shit, but if it's to be a working crock
of shit i can't really see much alternative to converting utf8
plain/text attachments to quoted-printable.

of course, then there's the issue of utf8 in header lines.  =?.....?=,
rfc2047, aargh.

as you might be able to tell, i've had some dealings with
this stuff recently, hence i was plundering upas for ideas
on "nice" ways of dealing with the crud, hence i realised these
problems...

  cheers,
