In fact, it may be necessary to attach a language tag (defined in

possible.
That would be a very bad idea. Email deals with scripts, not with
languages. What language should be attached to my name? (I'm french
but my name is german.) And to coca-cola.com?
I'm sure that many people are working on this problem,
Sure, specially in the Far East, demos of I18N software for email are
common but all use non-standard tricks, they do not interoperate and
they do not fallback gracefully when encountering an old email
gateway.
