Trying to reply your mail, my mailer says:
[Charset Windows-1252 unsupported, skipping...]
so, could you learn not to Microsoft centric and to use proper charset
for the International discussion of IETF?

As my mailer says;
[Charset utf-8 unsupported, skipping...]
you should learn that Unicode is not usable in international context
of IETF.
However, from http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
Name: windows-1252
MIBenum: 2252
Source: Microsoft (see ../character-set-info/windows-1252) [Wendt]
Alias: None
Name: UTF-8 [RFC2279]
MIBenum: 106
Source: RFC 2279
Alias: None
Odd.. They're properly tagged and registered charsets. They're as legal
as iso-8859-1 and us-ascii. Given that 'windows-1252' is probably a
supported character set on more systems than anything *you* are likely
to propose (given that I expect you won't propose Unicode or UTF-8 based
solutions), I would be *very* careful in equating "it isn't supported on
my MUA" to "is not usable in international context". That's a very steep
and slippery slope that you probably do not want to be standing near....
