Riiiight. Any mail with non-US-ASCII characters is sent with some
sort of encoding (unless the MUA is broken). F.ex., if I want to
hate on Apple’s Exposé, my mail is automatically something other
than literal 7-bit text.

> having characters in their email addresses that make it choke

Dots in email addresses are soooooooooo unusual! People who use
them deserve to have their threads inaccessible by anyone else!

And you know what? It’s not the one with a dot in his email
address who suffered the problem, it’s me who wanted to look up
one of his threads.

I sure hope you never write any code someone else has to use.

Fine. This mail is UTF-8 and has proper punctuation. If your MUA
breaks on it, well I likes it just the hateful way it is.

Didn’t read this part. Get your own thread.
