bug#4624: 23.1.50; rmail-edit may add incorrect content-type header

[Markus Rost <rost@math.uni-bielefeld.de>]

In rmail look at a message (from an mbox file) with content-type
multipart, e. g., with headers like

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="bbbbbbbbbbb"

Edit that message within rmail as usual with
rmail-edit-current-message and rmail-cease-edit.  After saving, the
message has an *additional* header like

Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

This is bad, since mail readers may not handle the message correctly
as multipart anymore.

The reason is that rmail-cease-edit uses rmail-mime-charset-pattern to
identify content-type headers, but rmail-mime-charset-pattern will match
by default only text/plain.

I am not sure how to fix this.  Ideally rmail-cease-edit should walk
through all the parts of a message when handling the coding, but that
looks very complicated.  Maybe for now rmail-cease-edit should handle
the coding only if there is no content-type header or if the
content-type is matched by rmail-mime-charset-pattern, leaving the
other cases to the responsibilty of the user.
