I don't get the point yet.
What is this function doing?
If you'd like to convert those ugly things like german umlauts in the
headers to something meeting the definitions of RFC 822, you should
use the methods of RFC 2047. However, this requires knowledge about
the charset in which the sender sent his 8-bit-characters. While
this is mostly ISO-8859-1 in the western european area, it would
still be just some kind of assumption the MTA is making.
