wrong ....
MIME must be used if 8 bit characters are used.
Only if the line consists of pure ASCII (7 bit) than there is no need for
MIME encoded to/from/subject
It is NOT legal to assume iso-latin-1 as characterset, because there is no
default 8 bit character set !!!
So if 8 bit characters are used, the program _MUST_ state what characterset
was used !

Yes ... but this depends on the installed codepage.
So you need to specify which characterset the writer used.
(alt 201 is not the same sign in CP437 and in CP850 !!)
So you say character number 201 in iso-latin-1 characterset.

Again this is not allowed !!!!
Not everybody uses iso-latin-1.
If your local charcterset is different, than the page will be wrongly
displayed !!
(this _IS_ the reason why escaping (&...) was introduced)
