A good idea, but I think people who use UTF-8 today are those who
know well on character encodings and don't send raw 8bit headers.

Sometimes I read raw iso-2022-jp headers. However, fortunately,
there are no Japanese mailing lists in Debian. (debian-japanese
is an English mailing list.) And more, MHonArc seems not to have
features to convert Japanese into SGML entity or &#xxxx; expression
and we cannot support Japanese headers anyhow.
