Hello Maksym,

Yes, we can - it's a shortened form of "Default character set for
non-7-bit ASCII characters", but the latter is a way too long and much
more confusing (how many people know what ASCII is and what are 7-bit
characters anyway? :-)

In fact, you are the only one complaining about the current behaviour
as far as I can recall and you are complaining about it only because
the mail client of your correspondent is not functioning properly.
Won't that be a better solution to find a simple workaround (like
adding an 8-bit character like your name in Cyrillic or non-breaking
space Alt+0160 in your template) ? :-)

Some people do believe that the current behaviour is more
RFC-compliant, but my opinion (and experience) is - the current
behaviour is more logical, safe and convenient.
