    Mutt dislikes the dot in the charset label, because it is prohibited
by RFC 2047. "ANSI_X3.4-1968" is not an accepted MIME charset name; It
should be spelled "us-ascii".

    Patching Mutt rfc2047.c:find_encoded_word() to accept the dot is
dead easy and would probably work, but that's not a very sensible
solution. I don't recommend it. Better fix the sending mailer.


Bye!    Alain.
