This is a test message to check how vger reacts to seeing 8bit
characters (like HasselstrÃ¶m) 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.
