That is not correct. If a message is qp-encoded, UTF-8 and 7bit can make perfect sense. But even if the message is NOT qp-encoded and does NOT contain any hi-bit characters, UTF-8 is still a correct declaration. Although not a "nice" and "least invasive" declaration, right. But still a correct one. I would also prefer if Roundcube would first check if one of the following charsets would match in this order before blindly declaring UTF-8 (for Western Europe): US-ASCII -> ISO-8859-1 -> ISO-8859-15 -> Windows-1252 -> UTF-8 But that doesn't mean that UTF-8 is wrong, if e.g. US-ASCII would match. > The receiving end is fairly justified in rejecting this and complaining > loudly. No, definitely not. See above.
