Even though there are a significant number of international students
here, my school's recommended mail client is Eudora (of course,
no student is forced to use it, but innocent/ignorant secretaries
and other administrative staff happily use it producing a lot of
non-standard-compliant emails every day) and I'm sick and tired
of receiving Windows-1252 messages *mislabelled* as ISO 8859-1 with
proprietary extension characters that are not supposed to be sent along
the wire in messages labelled as ISO 8859-1.

I've made a similar suggestion to Qualcom several times since 1995
(not just about Unicode support but also about better MIME and non-Western
European scripts/language support incuding the issue of mislabelling),
but they're just 'deaf' (maybe because they're making more than enough
money from CDMA and related patents ;-)) . No response and progress in
their I18N support. Mac version of Eudora is better than MS-Windows
version, but even MacOS version is far behind other mail clients like
Mozilla/Netscape6/Netscap 4.x and MS OE in terms of I18N.
