No multipart mails anymore, just text/plain with iso-8859-15.  Great!

| NAME
|        iso_8859-15  -  the  ISO  8859-15 character set encoded in
|        octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
| 
| DESCRIPTION
|        The ISO 8859 standard includes several 8-bit extensions to
|        the  ASCII  character  set  (also  known  as ISO 646-IRV).
|        Especially important is ISO 8859-1,  the  "Latin  Alphabet
|        No.  1",  which  has  become  widely  implemented  and may
|        already  be  seen   as   the   de-facto   standard   ASCII
|        replacement.   However,  it lacks the EURO symbol and does
|        not fully cover Finnish and  French.   ISO  8859-15  is  a
|        modification of ISO 8859-1 that covers these needs.
| 
|        ISO  8859-15  supports  the following languages: Albanian,
|        Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian,
|        Faroese,   Finnish,  French,  Frisian,  Galician,  German,
|        Greenlandic,  Icelandic,  Irish  Gaelic,  Italian,  Latin,
|        Luxemburgish,   Norwegian,   Portuguese,   Rhaeto-Romanic,
|        Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, and Swedish.

Note that some characters of iso-8859-1 changed their position in
iso-8859-15, so it is not fully backward compatible from this point of
view.

Cheers, Ray
