   ?, i have seen UTF-8 and QP combined badly in lots of emails where programmers   
   dont understand double encodeing problems, QP hide 8 bit chatters, so UTF-8   
   dont know it needs to be unicode encoded, thats not how it should be, since   
   the reader does not know if sender send from what charset :/

   and unicode solve that much better then html, hmm
