I'm not disputing that, and I understand that my current choice of mail

easy) to only generate utf-8 when it was necessary.
Isn't utf-8 itself same as ascii where no non-ascii symbols are used?
Yes, except for the content encoding header. Any mail reader today
should know that and at least replace any non-ascii bytes (very rare in
checkin messages) with some symbol and continue, rather than crash.
