Chris kindly sent a WORD document to me and it was displayed broken
even in machine. So, I investigated this bug.

Mew assumes output of wvHtml is encoded in UTF-8. This is ALWAYS true
in Japanese environments. However, it appeared, wvHtml produces output
encoded in ISO-8859-15 IF POSSIBLE. So, in European environments,
Mew's assumption is wrong in many times.

Please apply this patch to Mew 3.1.52 (or do "cvs update") to fix this
problem. It seems to me that there is no way to specify charset to
wvHtml prior to 0.7. So, please use wvHtml greater than or equal to
0.7.

Thank you for your report, Chris.
