Two categories of clients, I guess. First, all the spawn-of-redmond ones
that used Windows-1251 instead of ISO-8859.5. Second, Mutt, for not being
able to distinguish between messages that only use code points below 128
and those that have to be explicitly tagged with a charset, even if it can't
use UTF-8. Oh, and for spawn-of-redmond for doing such a crappy job of
Unicode support that Windows apps find it easier not to bother.

There's stuff above here
