I think the priority of the mails themselves is much lower than that
of the lists, because 8bit character in only one mail affects the whole
month in a list.
Anyway, I don't think the regeneration or modification is needed *now*,
because our solution is not yet perfect. It is obviously waste of
machine time to modify both *now* and in future when better solution
will be available.
I think more important problem is how to deal with raw 8bit mail
headers without encoding specification or encodings which are not
supported by the current set-up but used in Debian mailing lists
(GB2312, BIG5, and KOI8-R).
