[VM] Forcing Unicode with text/plain

[Yeechang Lee]

Using VM 8.1.2 I received a message labeled as

Content-Type: text/plain;

but with Unicode ( \342\200\231 ) in the body. If the header had
specified a charset, like

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

VM would have displayed the Unicode character ( $,1ry(B ) properly. How can
I have VM always assume that a plaintext message is in Unicode?

Sorry, somehow your messages didn't arrive into my normal inbox, and I am
just seeing them.

I don't think there is a way. UTF-8 needs decoding. If there is no header
saying so, no decoding will be done.

Perhaps you can write a function that adds "charset=UTF-8" to all the
text/plain parts of a message?
