After reviewing the RFCs, yeah, I think you're basically right. The charset parameter is not required to be set for text/* mime types, but if it's unset, the part is assumed to be us-ascii. > Here's a patch that uses the chardet gem to (try to) detect the > appropriate charset and sets it in the Content-Type header. Although I don't relish adding yet another gem dependency, I think this is the right approach. It looks like the chardet gem is unmaintained. But someone decided to make their own special version called rchardet which is completely equivalent version but *is* maintained. (What is it with these goddamn ruby people.) I suggest we use rchardet instead of chardet. Would you like to change the patch? If not, I will get to it at some point. > Please tell me if I should use some different way of sending > patches... This git flow is a bit new to me. (= Nope, this is perfect.
