Just another thought (because I realize now that I don't understand
this as well as I thought at first :)...
Are you saying there are messages which would lack a charset in a
content-type header and include Japanese text? I wouldn't think they
would be valid if they didn't. But I may not understand the types of
message structures you mean.
If the email parsing were to assume that lacking a content-type header
the part should be assumed to be text/plain and us-ascii, would this
break valid messages or only invalid ones (not that invalid ones could
necessarily be ignored, particularly if they were a significant
portion of the messages seen in reality :).
I'd be grateful if you could enlighten me on this.
Thanks,
