I'd like to point out that there's a "right" way and a "wrong" way to do
this sort of thing
The 'right' way unfortunately looks really ugly if you dont have an
up-to-date email program, because there's a long pre-amble.
"right" being defined as "fits in the rfc-stated limitations of the
header section, and uses encoding specifiers",
[and thereby probably is all 7-bit chars]
vs
"Well, I'll just slam some raw Shift-JIS in there, and 'smart' readers
will do the right thing"
