Subject: [PATCH 0/3] attempt to display text/plain with bogus charsets
Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2016 01:39:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160818013941.8673-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen reported a problem with Dscho's
Git for Windows 2.9.3 announcement not rendering text inline:

https://public-inbox.org/git/alpine.DEB.2.20.1608131214070.4924@virtualbox/

This was caused by the bogus charset=X-UNKNOWN set by Alpine.
Attempt to handle it as UTF-8, but fall back to blindly showing
it to the user.  In either case, warn users about the mangled
text.

  view: attach_link uses string concatentation
  view: try to display bogus charsets for text/plain
  view: try assuming UTF-8 for bogus charsets
