Coping with ELM and MIME

Coping with ELM and MIME

[Peter von der Ahé]

Hi!

Pterodactyl Gnus v0.95

Sometimes I get a mail from an ELM user with this header:

Content-Type: text

No Mime-version or CTE header, just CT with no charset.  The problem
is that the mail really is in the iso-8859-1 charset.  Chars like æ
are shown as \346.

Can I do anything besides editing the headers of the mail to get the
\346 shown as æ?

Cheers,
Peter

The Content-Type is broken. 

This patch will fix broken CT.
