The intended design was initially to have the legacy pass-thru mode
as default, when $assumed_charset is not set. This mainly to get the
same behaviour as before inclusion of the $assumed patch. In this sense,
pass-thru mode is necessary.
But it is not *only* necessary. Pass-thru mode can also be quite
usefull, in some (quite rare) cases, like for terminals able to display
multiple charsets at once. So we want pass-thru mode, both as default,
and as fallback when last item is empty ($assumed_charset="blah:bluh:").
The only discussion I recall about changing default "pass-thru" to
"us-ascii" was in Debian Bug #386171 "workaround buggy clients that send
mail without Content-Type", and that was thru /etc/Muttrc.

True for headers in index. But it impacts the pager (both for
headers and bodies) after a simple redisplay.
Bye! Alain.
