Clément Denis commented on MIME4J-228:
--------------------------------------
OK, it's clear now why it defaults to us-ascii (the value seemed arbitrary at
first).
I was a bit confused by this issue, because I thought the quoted-printable
encoding was charset-independant, but obviously it's not !
I'll open a improvement request.
Thanks.

> Key: MIME4J-228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-228
> Project: James Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser (core)
> Affects Versions: 0.7.2
> Environment: Windows 7 64bits
> Oracle Java 1.7.0_17
> Reporter: Clément Denis
> Attachments: quotedprintablewithoutencoding.mime
>
>
> The attached message is a multipart message with a single part in a quoted
> printable format, but no specific charcter encoding.
> When no content encoding specified in a body part, the DefaultMessageBuilder
> defaults to us-ascii. But the output of the QuotedPrintableInputStream used
> to decode the text is actually ISO_8859_1 (at least in my environment).
> Quoted printable text should not depend on the encoding of the text, so the
> text should be fine.
