Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Rmail does not correctly decode quoted-printable messages. For
example, a message that has these headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Shows a Windows-1252 character \226 as an octal escape, and says that
the buffer's encoding is undecided-unix.
In addition, Rmail before mbox merge would rewrite
Content-Transfer-Encoding header into "8-bit", when it decoded the
quoted-printable encoding, but the current Rmail does not.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

IIUC, the new Rmail decodes quoted-printable messages during message
display, leaving the original message unchanged in the Rmail file.
That's why it does not change Content-Transfer-Encoding to "8bit".
I don't see why Rmail would fail to correctly decode a message with the
headers you provided. Here's a shot in the dark: if you add the line
(setq last-coding-system-used nil)
to line 2564 of rmail.el, just before the call to rmail-decode-region,
is there any improvement?
