  I don't know whether or not he used UTF-8, but, as with all his
postings, these headers are fabricated/bogus.

  For example the 'User-Agent:' header is stolen from my postings
(extremely unlikely that anyone else has that exact combination of
newsreader/local server). And I normally don't use any 'Content-Type:'
header and if I do, it's not UTF-8, nor format=flowed, so that header is
fabricated/ bogus as well.

  He claims you're partly responsible for him generating this crap :-) :

  Creating problems is his purpose in life.

  Don't hold your breath.
