With the current implementation, Mew accepts both 7bit and 8bit
messages while it produce 7bit messages only (if a message is 8bit, it
will be encoded with quoted-printable). This 7bit limitation will be
resolved.

But what you reported is not the case. I don't know why "7bit" is
chosen instead of "quoted-printable". So, let me confirm.

(1) What kind of "charset" did Mew guess(see Content-Type:)?

(2) Do you input all letters in the body by hands(not through a file)?

(3) Does Mew make mistake any and all cases? Or specific patters?
