Please elaborate what is not clear...

MIME charsets are not the same as (Emacs) coding systems. This
function does the mapping and also handles overrides (many MUAs
specify wrong charsets), invalid charsets, etc.

rfc2047.el implements (one of) the MIME standards. mm-utils.el
contains utility functions for MIME. I.e. they are closely related.
I'm not sure it is worth to separate out parts of it.
Bye, Reiner.
