It seems to me that, even if it might appear heretic, one should assume, in
absence of tags for headers, that the character set used is the same as the
message body's.
With GUI presentation of messages it would not be a major problem, as
anyway the message is never displayed before full reception. For non GUIs,
it would be just too bad, but certainly not worse than today. Right now,
because of a dogma, it is wrong in all environments that do not cheat.
