Bug: mbox_source can be corrupted if message is not in utf-8
The archiver/importer in 0.10-SNAPSHOT assumes that the message body can be
converted to utf-8 for storage in mbox_source. However that is not always the
case.
The mbox body text is converted using the content-type charset (or utf-8 if
that fails).
Something similar could be done for the mbox_source, but this might change
the input, as a single message can potentially contain text in several
different charsets. The export function could be affected.
It would be safer to store the input as a binary copy.
This would allow unmodified export to mbox or other formats.
However it could affect the source display.
