I think this may be an advantage of living in a part of the world

to handle it.
I am still kind of surprised that you don't see more; it seems to me
that a lot of programs want to base64 anything if they see anything with
the high bit set. The mailing list software used here is one example;
it will automatically reencode the message as base64 if it sees any
8-bit characters.
Hmmm. You are right about that. And of course I see mailman mailing
lists with the default charset as unicode all day long. So I have
likely misunderstood my problem. Next time I get one I will make sure
to save it for forensic analysis.
