This looks like a useful option. I just wonder what effect does different
charsets do to the output (is text/html content output verbatim (with just
json/sexp escaping of '"' -characters). 

If you added test(s) showing what happens with different charsets
(like one message having 3 text/html parts, one us-ascii, one iso-8859-1
and one utf-8) that would make things clearer and (also) protect us from 
regressions.
