No, it's not.  The overwhelming majority of Internet users cannot
handle such simple tasks as subscribing/unsubscribing, removing
boilerplate text (signatures, message headers/footers), correctly
attributing quoted material, etc.  I think it best to stick firmly
by the maxim that ASCII is quite sufficient for mail traffic.
