All modern email clients can handle it.

This thread and others are becoming more and more something like "my program
can't do that, you should change the standard" or "I got a problem here, I
blame you"...

I don't see the point of attacking E-mailer, it uses a valid encoding. You
should consider it as a Newsie problem, cause it can't handle a valid
standard.

You got an encoding problem with Newsie, but it is not fair shooting at the
ASH-emailer (or the standard) for your problems.
