to Alejandro Lieber:

You never saw a line like 
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
in message headers?  Charsets such as ISO-8859-1 allow email transmission for
non-English languages with the proper characters.

Surely straight text, 7 bit or 8 bit, is much easier to extract than base64 or
quoted-printable.
