Hi,

i saw some article which contains the following headers:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;

i.e. there is a semicilon after text/plain, but there is no charset
specification (in fact, such article was created by broken
fidonet<->internet gateway, and charset was incorrectly translated;
such articles are not very rare).

This article was 8-bit koi8-r. I have mm-default-coding-system set to
'koi8, but gnus displays russian chars in this article unencoded
(\310\302\317...). Would it be possible to use mm-default-coding-system
if no charset is present in headers?

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
