Charset encoding is currently broken in quite a few places, viz.

=B7 Forwarding.  `C-u N C-c C-f' for N=3D1,2,4 is broken if the CTE of
  the forwarded message is 8bit.

=B7 Digesting.  `S o p' and `S o m' is similarly broken if
  `message-forward-as-mime' is nil.

=B7 Resending.  `S D e' is also broken.

=B7 Bouncing.  Ditto for `S D b'.

The last two problems were introduced by me :-(

In all cases the bug occurs because the body of the
forwarded/bounced/etc message is inserted without being decoded.

This means that the 8bit characters get the charset
`eight-bit-graphic' which breaks the message in various ways.

It's easiest to observe for utf-8 (with CTE 8bit) -- for Latin-1
you'll probably need to do `C-u C-x =3D' to see it immediately.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any obvious way to fix it.  Ideas?
