Mailman won't add by concatenation headers or footers to text/plain
parts of the message that don't have a charset that matches the list's
preferred charset (which is by fiat the charset assumed for the header
and footer text).

I suppose we could do a similar kind of multipart re-wrapping as is
being proposed for adding headers and footers to multipart/<non-mixed>.
