Proper handling of non-ascii text. For instance: a. Proper encoding of non-ascii headers (using "=?" notation) b. Ability to use other transfer encodings besides 8-bit c. Ability to automatically choose different character encodings depending on the language/context/whatever (e.g., for many cases, the "standard" isn't utf-8). 2. Ability to have both text and binary attachments (both are very important), and that these work together with the language support in part (1). The features I would like to see are probably a subset of this. I am not sure it needs to be as automatic and complete as this would have it. Etach seems to do the job that I want done.
