I think you are trying to figure out how vger adds/munges the
headers, and the above is not very useful for people but
yourself unless you explicitly say what headers you gave on your
end in the body of the message, is it?

Judging from the list responses, I am guessing the situation is
like this.  Does that match your understanding?

botched one:

	outgoing:
        	body in utf-8
        	Content-type: text/plain; charset=3Dutf-8
                no MIME-Version: header

	vger relayed to recipients:
        	body untouched
                Content-type: text/plain; charset=3Diso-8859-1
                MIME-Version: 1.0

good one:

	outgoing:
        	body in utf-8
        	Content-type: text/plain; charset=3Dutf-8
                MIME-Version: 1.0

	vger relayed to recipients: everything intact.


I am not sure what exactly you meant by with/without "the right
mime header", but the above is based on my guess that you meant
only MIME-VERSION header.
