- prodigal_erik 17y agoAs I understand it, speakers of non-Latinate languages tend to use mail clients which can guess encodings, because there's still a lot of legacy code which does MIME incorrectly or not at all. Hell, Firefox 3 can still do this, and displaying a Web page incorrectly is nowhere near as serious as not delivering email.
