Oops.  The current function, like, totally removes all old MIME
headers and puts in new ones, which are text/plain.

The rationale was, I think, that sometimes the charset and CTE were
wrong (by default0, but the rewriting should definitely be done with a 
lot more care.

Or perhaps it shouldn't rewrite at all if there already are MIME
headers in the article.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.32.
