No. Multi-language mail is more common than you might think. Two examples:
I got mail from someone in France this morning: The message was in English
but the .sig was in French.
When a fellow Norwegian posts in English on a mailing list and I answer
privately, I might well answer in Norwegian, quoting the English posting.
That is why we have MIME body parts. Put each language piece
into a separate body part, with content-language to indicate
its language.
The body part solution will work when the border between
languages is at a line boundary. However, what about text
like the following:
"I spent three years at Universät Lüneburg in Germany"
where the language break occurs twice in the middle of
a line!
