Indeed. This is what the header now looks like when re-arranged (I am
pasting these from a 40 MB message I just put together to showcase a
bunch of different types of files.

I have been using this patch for several days now and everything appears
to be working just fine; the broken server that I am working around now
silently drops charset MIME header parameters, but no other server I
have sent mail through has done that sort of thing, to my knowledge.

LOL, you and me both. The good news (and this is praise for the
authors/maintainers of Evolution) is that the source is well organized
enough that I only had to spend probably 30 minutes narrowing down the
code that needed to be modified. I was made quite happy by that.
