Let me start by pointing out that the accept-language is currently in fairly
widespread use in email. A number of very popular clients generate these
headers and a fair number of automatic response agents honor them. Strong
customer demand led us to support them in the autoresponses our product
generates a few years ago, which means I have a fair amount of
experience with
them and the problems they do and do not have.
Notwithstanding the operational problems you mention, this suggests to me
that Accept-language should be included in the initial (permanent) registry
of email message headers, possibly carrying a warning about the operational
issues you note?
