I don't know enough about using charsets or encodings to answer this
sensibly. I believe I'm using the standard u.s. ISO-8859 charset. The
message was written in vim in the usual way and then I attached 3 pdfs.
The pdfs were created on a mac.

 I     1 <no description>       [text/plain, 8bit, unknown-8bit, 1.0K] 
 A     2 invoice february 2002.doc.pdf      [applica/pdf, base64, 46K]

Thanks for any help
