Package: vm
Version: 8.0.11-1
Severity: important
In VM's default setup messages containing non-ASCII characters are sent
as "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp". They look garbled
in every MUA (Gnus, VM, Rmail, Icedove) I've tried. If an iso-2022
encoding is used at all, at least "Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=iso-2022-7bit" should be used, which would make the messages
readable in Emacs-based MUAs.
Note that this applies to messages sent in VM under emacs22, with
emacs-snapshot the situation is even worse: all non-ASCII characters
silently disappear when the message is sent!
This can be worked around by setting vm-mime-8bit-composition-charset to
"utf-8" which makes VM send messages as "Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8", although the docstring for
vm-mime-8bit-composition-charset wrongly claims that this variable has
no effect.

So this version of VM sends things as UTF-9 by default.
