It's not.

In HTML &#x042C is an ASCII representation of a unicode character. It
represents a character within HTML, but as far as mime is concerned
it's 7 characters - that's the whole point of allowing unicode to be
represented this way. Actually the mime section it's in is text/html,
not text/plain, but it's legal either way.


As I mentioned before, the real violation is in the previous mime
section, which claims 7bit, but contains octets with the high-bit set.
