Sorry, I am confusing the terminology here. The 'body' seems to be the
headers plus the 'content'. So I can print the *content* without the
headers OK, but I can't easily print all the headers separately. If
just print the body, i.e. headers plus content, the umlauts in the
content are not resolved.
