Sending messages with accented characters results result in a MIME charset="x-unknown" (as documented in the mhbuild man page). Would we be better served by a default of, say, "iso-8859-1" ? (The MS Exchange server used here chokes on charset="x-unknown". As much as I hate to change stuff to get around other broken software, I thought I'd suggest this.)
