I'm now working on various bug-fixing and improvement of
rmail's mime handling, and fixing the above is included in
the work.  The problem is that which coding system to set if
the header and each text part of multipart have different
"charset".  At the moment, I'm going to commit a code that
set the FIRST coding system used for decoding some part
(header, parts of multipart, forwarded message, etc).
