Ed was replying to Shmuel who had headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Monkey see; monkey doo?
Shmuel was apparently replying to me. My message had
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB"
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The four parts were variously us-ascii and utf-8. The first occurrence
of koi8-r that I see was Shmuel's. The bottom half of koi8-r seems very
similar to us-ascii. Format=flowed would squeeze out multiple blanks.
Some component upstream in Ed's MUA converted blanks to NBSP (koi8-r?!)
intending to prevent their being squoze? Way too much DWIM here.
Simpler is better, I may switch to mutt,
