Yeah, I guess I could have done that to begin with, right? So I emailed
myself a document twice, once from gmail's webmail, once from gnus, both
messages received in gnus. Due to my amazingly bad short-term memory I
used different DOC files, but they were both in Chinese, should have
been the same encoding for the file itself. Here are the two raw
messages as received in Gnus (left out some headers, hopefully this is
everything relevant). I just don't know enough about the email format to
see what's going on.
