Hi,

I was trying your filter: Yes it adds missing 'content-transfer-encoding' and 
'content-type' lines to the messages. But my son receive mails from a 
mailinglist which contains both lines but the 
'MIME-Version: 1.0'
line is missing. That prevents PMMail from showing correct 'umlaute'.

Is it possible to check the header for missing 'MIME-Version: 1.0' (in the 
moment I add the line with a REXX script)
