No, no.  ß is a non-ASCII character, and Eli was talking about this
character appearing _literally_ in the From header.  I think.  It's
been some time ago...

So, for the body we have the Content-type header which can specify the
charset used.  But what if there's a non-ASCII character in the
_header_?  What charset should we assume there?

Does Gnus ever produce non-ASCII characters in the headers?
