Even with support for encoding, we would be decoding to the current
locale which may not support the characters required. Perhaps not
something to worry about with UTF-8 being more common but I'd prefer to
have to see the unencoded string in my editor than for the name of my
recipient to get mangled.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. When I sent out my hand-encoded
subject line last month the replies were interesting ... clearly some MUAs
handle it differently than others (some replies had the whole Subject
line encoded with windows-1252). I'm not sure there's a "good" solution;
I think we'll just have to see how things work in practice. Although since
I'm now UTF-8 aware I think I would personally prefer to see the actual
decoded UTF-8 characters in my draft.
