Closing this, because it is a duplicate of request 2702. But I added a 
bounty for that feature that should show up on the website within an 
hour. Please use the bounty pages to sponsor this bounty.

In earlier versions of IMP (3.x) if message had bad headers (missing 
mime-version or content-type or content-transfer-encoding) IMP did 
fallback to iso-8859-1 charset (at least when language was selected as 
finnish).



Nowdays in IMP version 4.0 and newer if message has bad headers, IMP   
fallbacks to utf-8 (displays message with utf-8 charset). At least in 
our situation 99,9% of broken messages are in iso-8859-1 charset. Is 
there any way to add configuration option to IMP, for example that it 
would display broken message in iso-8859-1 charset? (instead of utf-8 
charset). Maybe it could detect which charset to fallback from 
language selection?



My company is willing to pay 500$ bounty, if this new feature will be added.
