There is also no excuse for a MUA to set the character set to anything other that ASCII in email when only the ASCII subset is being used. This is bad MUA design. The developer was lazy. There is a similar issue when spaces are converted to   for HTLM then back converted to =A0 for printed-quotable. Most MUA's fail to do things right.
