That's no problem as long as both ends agree which charset to use.
Summarizing the discussions, such an agreement does exist for dk.*,
fr.*, and no.*, but not for de.* (after all, we are Germans, and it's
more important to follow the wording of the RFCs than to have a working
solution ;).
Of course, in general, you are right. There isn't any agreement,
and that's why you should use MIME.
