Attached is a gb2312 html file containing an iframe referring another gb2312
file.
To reproduce the problem, save this file to you local drive, compose a gb2312
mail, attach this html file to the mail and send it to yourself. After
received, observe the attachment display.

Attachment: A testing Shift-JIS file.

This also happens when the attachment file is a Japanese sjis one.
To see it, compose a Japanese (iso-2022-jp) mail, attach above file and send it
to yourself.
