When do you see these problems?  As Josh said, I don't think mail-extr
ever should see non-ASCII, it wasn't built for it.  The \200-\376
ranges are probably not a good idea, but worked for latin-1 people in
the dark ages before MIME.

This means you receive 8bit in headers, doesn't it?  Do you?  That's
bad.
