I recognise that this seems to be an old issue, so I guess the short version of the question is has mime handling in repl (so, for example, non-UTF8 text being quoted in a reply turns up as UTF8, not as '=91' etc.) progressed at all since 2012?
-- Long version: Non-UTF8 messages appear fine when I 'show' them, but when I 'repl' all non-UTF8 characters are in '=91'/'=92'/'=96' format. The main offenders are Windows-1252 messages. Any suggestions where I should look for what's causing this? I'm using system default mhl.format and mhl.reply, which respectively have the following 'body' lines: body:nocomponent,overflowtext=,overflowoffset=0,noleftadjust body:component="> ",overflowtext="> ",overflowoffset=0 .. is this the same issue as described here?
