This is much better. The following content type would be better, and

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="us-ascii"

Here are some URLs you can look at for MIME:
http://www.mhonarc.org/~ehood/MIME/
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/mime-faq/mime0/
http://www.hunnysoft.com/mime/
The above pages also have reference to the relevant RFCs if you like reading 
standards,.
