I can't *really* tell.  While the headers do tell me I'm reading a UTF-8
plain text message, they also tell me:

"X-MIME-Autoconverted: from base64 to 8bit by..." my mail server.

So, I can't tell how the message originated, just how I finally got it.
For all I know it came as UTF-8 inside base64, or it came in as
iso-8859-whatever inside base64, and my server converted it to 8bit
UTF-8.  Or whether any other mailserver in the middle did anything to
the message.

You can only test such things by mailing yourself, or viewing the copy
saved in your sent mail folder.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
