I don't know, how this happened, but it seems like even the latest
thunderbird does not support UTF8 command for POP3.
So, all unicode messages arrive to users as attachments with notification in
ENGLISH.
It's highly likely that few of those messages are actual, authentic Unicode
messages, but rather improperly encoded messages that, according to adopted
EAI standards, must now be treated as Unicode content.
Two problems
1) I get too many customer support request on this issue
2) The notification is IN ENGLISH, while my customers are russians.
Third problem:
3) There's a lot Russian E-mail software that's buggy and doesn't correctly
encode E-mail headers and content. Correctly encoding mail headers is not a
straightforward task, true. There are at least two different schemes used
for different headers. But that's just the way things are, and simply
dumping raw 8-bit garbage into random headers, and just assuming that the
receiver's E-mail software will use either KOI8-R or Windows-1251 to display
the headers by default, is not really the way to deal with this.
