In earlier versions of IMP (3.x) if message had bad headers (missing
mime-version or content-type or content-transfer-encoding) IMP did fallback
to iso-8859-1 charset (at least when language was selected as finnish). 

Nowdays in IMP version 4.0 and newer if message has bad headers, IMP 
fallbacks to utf-8 (displays message with utf-8 charset). At least in our
situation 99,9% of broken messages are in iso-8859-1 charset. Is there any
way to add configuration option to IMP, for example that it would display
broken message in iso-8859-1 charset? (instead of utf-8 charset). Maybe it
could detect which charset to fallback from language selection? 

My company is willing to pay 500$ bounty, if this new feature will be added.
