Thanks, I saw that change being installed a day after I sent the bug
report.  However, even with the latest CVS I sometimes see bad results
from mail-unquote-printable-region.  I will try to investigate and
come up with a patch or a test case.

Btw, when is it useful to invoke mail-unquote-printable-region with
UNIBYTE bound to nil?  I think never, so we might as well make it
always use (insert char 1) to insert the unquoted character and
simplify the interface as a side effect.
