I checked how bogofilter works with messages with different encodings and Content-Type headers. Bogofilter works as it should: it checks the message's Content-Type header and get's the charset from there. With "unicode=yes" (which is the default) bogofilter converts the message to UTF-8 and stores words to it's database. If charset is not defined in message's Content-Type headers, bogofilter uses it's own charset_default setting (default is ISO-8859-1). I think ISO-8859-1 is a good default: I believe most of the messages without Content-Type headers are in some kind of Western European charset. Probably most of the spam is English. So, my bug report was pretty pointless from bogofilter's point of view. :) I guess this bug can be closed. At least I downgraded the severity to "normal". There remains this KMail problem, though. Maybe it's worth filing a new report.
