Well, I think Simon has a point though. It shouldn't _have_ to work
on 8-bit characters, especially if the headers are encoded properly.
What bbdb should do is get the header from the raw article, decode it,
then look for matches. (IMHO)
Yup.
OTOH in some environments people do send 8bit data raw. But the only
way to get that to work is to assume it is one configurable coding
system. Guessing should not be attempted.
