can you specify what problem are you trying to fix?

Debian uses UTF-8 by default and "reportbug" too, so the MIME headers"Content-Type" and "Content-Transfer-Encoding" set to use ASCII causeproblems.


An example of a consequence:

If I prepare my message in LibreOffice (which uses UTF-8 by default) anduse the typographic â€œquotation marksâ€? (which is the defaultbehaviour) instead of the straight "quotation marks", then thetypographic quotation marks are not correctly displayed.
