+  "Decode the body of the current message using coding system CODING.
+This is useful with mail messages that have malformed or missing
+charset= headers.
+
+This function assumes that the current message is already decoded
+and displayed in the RMAIL buffer, but the coding system used to
+decode it was incorrect.  It then encodes the message back to its
+original form, and decodes it again, using the coding system you
+supply at the prompt.
+
+Note that if Emacs erroneously auto-detected one of the iso-2022
+encodings in the message, this function might fail because the escape
+sequences that switch between character sets and also single-shift and
+locking-shift codes are impossible to recover.  This function is meant
+to be used to fix messages encoded with 8-bit encodings, such as
+iso-8859, koi8-r, etc."
