This is a test message to check how vger reacts to seeing 8bit characters (like Hasselström) in a message without the right mime header. Previous attempts were eaten by the list because of a lack of a message id.

If your mail server doesn't advertise the 8BITMIME extensions, I expect this message to be corrupted to iso8859-1 during the smtp conversation between vger and your server, because it lacks a mime version header.

This was broken when I got it via the list, but looked good when I got it directly.

Ditto here. And the copy from the list had the same big warning as before in the headers.

To me it arrived via vger only, including the ö, with
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

This is broken when reading over NNTP from GMANE.
