But not all E-Mail messages are 'well behaved', the above works fine
if the headers specify the correct text encoding but quite often one
will get messages with no encoding specified and also one gets
messages with the wrong encoding specified.  One needs a way to handle
these 'rogue' messages such that most of the characters come out right.
