Well after a bit of thinking, I came up with this code, which appears to
work well. It's a bit of hack though, and I'm not sure if this logic does
enough to determine a message came from usenet.

        if(content_type==undefined) {
                //Check that we're not from Fidonet
                if(hdr.ftn_area==undefined) {
                        //If we don't have a ftn, we're likely not from usenet, needs header.
                        if(hdr.ftn_pid==undefined) { content_type_header(); }
                }
                //We're from fidonet, need a header.
                else { content_type_header(); }
        }
}

function content_type_header()
{
        /* No content-type specified, so assume IBM code-page 437 (full ex-ASCII)
*/
        writeln("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=IBM437");
        writeln("Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit");
}

Do you think I need to add any other checks?
