Git HEAD offers the optiond --mime, --content-type and --encoding for that effect.

Using the following command appends the content type header to the correct MIME-part but does not remove the default header.

echo "Example UTF-8 String åäöÅÄÖ"| mail -s TEST -unavailable- -a "Content-type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8" -A testfile

If I remove the -A flag the content-type header is placed in the mail's header and works as expected. But when it is in the MIME-part's header, there is a duplicate Content-type header. MUA's use the first Content-type header they find and thus ignore the second correct header.
