I'm using 0.40.  I didn't realize that 0.41 was out.  But 0.40 isn't doing
anything particularly wrong here, as far as I can see - it's ignoring things
that aren't supposed to be there anyway.  It has no problem with characters
that are correctly encoded (UTF-8 or numeric character references).

I should have said the part header, not the HTTP header.
