I would vote for making this the default. I agree that it should be unnecessary; RFC 1521 does not "not strictly" require it for text/plain, it simply does not require it ("If no Content-Type is specified, this default is assumed.", with the default being text/plain,us-ascii). I find it strange that debian-bugs actually filters messages based on such very general notions. -David
