[mew-int 3044] Charset (UTF-8) for body is mis-matched.

Hi,

For the attached message, Mew says "Charset (UTF-8) for body is
mis-matched.".  However, if I save the body of the message and display
it in UTF-8, the text is fine.  What is origin of the problem and how
can I correct it?

Best,
C.

It seems to me that the signature block in that message contains some
latin-1 encoded text:

  Pour transf&eactue;rer le message à quelqu'un cliquez-ici

Correct.  But why the rest of the message is not decoded properly?
Even if I try to force UTF-8, it does not work.  The message "Charset
(UTF-8) for body is mis-matched." is OK and informative as long as Mew
decodes (tries to decode) the part that is correct.

`C-u C-c C-l utf-8 RET' works for me.

Examples:
  - Type `C-u C-c C-l utf-8 RET' to force UTF-8
  - Type `C-c C-l utf-8 RET' to prefer UTF-8
  - Type `C-c C-l Chinese-GBK RET' to prefer Chinese encodings

Thanks,
