   Currently, the decoding tries to use all possible character sets found in the message, not necessarily ones pertaining to the body itself. It also assumes that the default is UTF-8. Both are IMHO wrong, and are handled differently in Foal:
   
   - US-ASCII should be assumed default as per RFC822. All other character sets MUST be accompanied with a Content-Type encoding sub-header.
   - Only the message part or its parent should be looked at for character sets, and parent should only be fallback if the message part does not have a valid encoding sub-headeer.
