't' and 'u' packets, on receipt and on creation? Are we deprecating
't' on creation, and we SHOULD use a 'u' (and UTF-8 of course)?
And then on receipt, what should (or SHOULD) we do?
I'd say don't deprecate anything, the 'u' is merely a flag that the
message is for sure utf-8 encoded. It's up to the MUA[1] to create
and display a message correctly, that flag might be helpful. Maybe a
"If it is definitely known that the message is utf-8 encoded, the 'u'
flag SHOULD be used."
