And how should Zope figure that out ;) 

Do you know any server that does enything reasonable with the encoding
you posted ?

To make Zope server believe that content-type text/plain means the
encoding 
you described you can probably hack lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py
around lines 
180-200 to accept extra encodings in addition to standard encodings 
multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

I think you're right. This format seems to be used for e-mails (RFC2646).
I'll try to add this mime-type to the decoding module. But it seems more to
be in cgi.py because this module checks the content-type.
