Modern English spellings, please?
Those are modern English, actually. Just because the Americans drop
the accents doesn't mean other English writers do. Of course,
nobody's suggesting that we should use diacriticals in RFC prose.
I'd also note that your email client is obviously broken, and it
trying to interpret UTF-8 and iso-8859-1 - which in itself suggests
you're not really reading your email in ASCII as you protest.
That's even more bizarre, given your own email is clearly marked as
being in UTF-8, rather than ASCII.
It's entirely possible to find systems which cannot adequately handle
modern protocols, I don't see that's a reason to claim that ASR-33 is
the pinnacle of document formatting, nor do I think that it's
anyone's problem but your own if your can't read the proper
representation of a person's name, or an i18n example.
