What happens in cases where text is *not* US-ASCII and still sent with the content-transfer-encoding set to quoted-printable? Maybe nothing happens. I admit to knowing next to nothing about character sets in this way.

It is perfectly legal to set content-transfer-encoding to "8bit", something like this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This depends on the mail server that correctly handles 8-bit messages (i.e. practically anything). Then one can view the mail spool with vim.
