As far as I know, it's is prefectly valid to add any random number of
arbitrary non-standard args. So "format=[a-z]+" is too restrictive.
It is an easy fix that may work in practice.
We'd probably want something more like:
(concat "^content-type:[ ]*text/plain;"
"\\(?:[ \t\n]*[-a-z]+=\\(?:[^\";]+\\|\"[^\"]+\"\\);\\)*"
"[ \t\n]*charset=\"?\\([^ \t\n\";]+\\)\"?")
I don't mind installing this, but it may not be really correct,
any more than my quick fix is.
Trying to solve the problem in a fully general way could be a lot
harder, however.
although I can't remember the exact BNF rules for this MIME header, so it
can probably do with a bit more work.
Yes, that's what could make a fully correct solution hard.
