It's because some MUAs are dain bramaged.
The world has more than eight bits.
Which is just one of the reasons that the MIME type "multipart/alternative" exists. Sane MUAs that wish to send HTML also send a text/plain alternative segment in the same MIME stream. The unfortunate part is that this classifies Thunderbird as not "sane", because its default configuration for dual-format output is "ask me" based on whether all addresses are in the address book with the HTML option enabled, rather than simply always sending multipart by default. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
