When I create a message with accents in mozilla, here is the an excerpt of
the header :

===
Subject: this message contains accents
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.2.6
===

If I do exactly the same thing, but with internet explorer, I get this
header :

===
Subject: this message contains accents
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.2.6
===

Notice that the charset chosen is latin1 for the second message while
it is utf-8 for the first one.

The correct behaviour is internet explorer one.
Mozilla version is latest release 1.7.12.
Internet explorer is 5.5.

I've tested with firefox, and there is no problem with firefox.

So Imp uses the wrong charset with mozilla only, and both two of my ISP
(personnal and work) use an IMP version that leads to this behaviour.
