[Joaquim Homrighausen]

This is a rather old thread, but I just tried doing a posting in Jonah, 
and the resulting message had the following content of interest:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Kan man g=C3=B6ra nyhetsbrev s=C3=A5h=C3=A4r?

Vi k=C3=B6r med lite vanlig text h=C3=A4r, skriver "full story text", osv.


But this isn't us-ascii; is it? Sure, the plaintext encoded variant of 
the message is transferred using us-ascii, but the result shouldn't be 
displayed as us-ascii.. ?

This is with the latest HEAD of Jonah, 2006-02-15.
