Actually i see a huge number of messages from my friends in Germany (who
write to me in a combination of German and English) that are encoded as
ISO Latin 1, without any escapping... at least that I've noticed, and
that includes QP.

Agreed, and at some point the presentation side should adapt on the fly,
I think... I'd also like to see the ISO Latin 1 character set adapted on
the fly to the HTML/SGML &blah; encodings :-) (If you can't see that,
you're mailer is confused! :-)
