[patch] be more liberal in accepting wrongly encoded national chars

[Albrecht Dreß <albrecht dress arcor de>]

I sometimes get mails containing 8-bit characters, but without the proper 
MIME framework according to rfc 2045 and friends. Balsa 2 displays these 
characters as "?" as there is no info on how to treat them.

This is of course a problem of the sender's broken MUA (or, sometimes, may 
be caused by shell scripts sending mails), but imho we could follow the 
suggestion in the rfc to be liberal in what we accept and silently assume 
ISO-8859-1 as a reasonable 8-bit charset in this case. The patch is just a 
one-liner for libmutt (see below).

Opinions?

Cheers,

	Albrecht.
