[pmmail-list] hyper-text?

Furthermore, it wasn't only me who suggested that PMMail should provide the 
opportunity to specify a default charset which is applied as soon as there 
is no appropriate header. The current behavior is quite unpleasant due to 
some brain-dead mailers; PMMail assumes 7bit-ASCII (which may make sense 
looking at the RFC) but the probability if this matches the contents varies 
depending on the location :) ...
