Message-ID: <shyae3v6bp.fsf@tux.gnu.franken.de> (raw)

Pine users have the habit to send messages with such header lines:

    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=X-UNKNOWN
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

But if you've a cloaser look at the message body, you'll notice that the
mail actually is written as:

    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Unfortunately, Gnus obeys the original haeader lines and displays
special characters (umlauts, accented characters) in the backslashed
notation ;-(

It there an easy way to tell Emacs 20.4 with PGnus 0.95, to be a little
bit smarter (display 8bit as 8bit)?

[I hope, it's clear, what I want so say.]
