Ben Gertzfield gave this example on the development list for the email
module.

Say you're a Swede who speaks Japanese and you're replying to a
Japanese speaker in Japanese.  Your From field will be in charset
iso-8859-1 (not us-ascii) but your Subject and the body of the message
will be in iso-2022-jp.

So any multilingual speaker (emailer?) from a country where English is
not the native language might run into this.  Certainly it's not
common, but I don't think it's unlikely.
