As someone who reads half of my mail in Mutt in a vt screen, and the
other half on my Minstral equipped Palm III, I disagree wildly with
your characterisation of non-ASCII email as "more robust".

15 years of varied experience with email administration causes me to
characterise such email as "more frangible".
