That was it. Amazing. I had to set this line to:

function 
plainMailEncoded($email,$subject,$message,$headers='',$enc='base64',$charset='UTF-8',$dontEncodeSubject=0) 
{

to get the headers I wanted.

But why isn't this just set by the TS values 
'config.notification_email_encoding' and 
'config.notification_email_charset'?

And why does the htmlmail class have no effect on the headers of 
plaintext mails?
