Out of ideas... I know about "reply-problem" on folder with redefined
identity, nothing more... But mentioned problem appearance is slightly
different - The Bat frozen, editor window doesn't have toolbars and
menu - bug hole instead these parts, CPU usage 100% and as final result
- frozen The Bat

Really - near zero... RFC doesn't restrict usage 8bit on client side,
only in MTA-MTA play. And _now_ most MTA can handle 8bit correctly,
restriction is something from "ancient" times... but "Dura lex, sed lex"
and in worst case 8bit characters can be truncated to 7bit

Some mailers (ugly) probably can't handle inline-encoded strings and
show it "as is" - us-ascii oriented mailers, authors of which can't imagine,
that somebody ant to use something except pure English
