I think, that there was no content-transfer-encoding header in my
mail, because I did not add such a header and I did not add such a
header, because I did not expect, that VM encoded my mail. vm should
display a warning message (not sure, if there wasn't such a message
:-)) and add a content-transfer-encoding header, if it converts text
automaticly.
