[imp] Default charset for broken mails

[Daniel Eckl]

Hi Chris

That was what I wrote. These mails are broken. And what now? That
doesn't help my users... My users just see this mail correctly in every
other imap client but IMP. So they say "it has to be IMP which is
broken".

But thanks for the background info.

Greets,
Daniel
