I'm not sure if it's a bug per se, but I can cite specific examples where it's not desireable. Here in Korea, most people use one of several popular web mail sites. Many people also use the Korean version of Windows 98. As shipped, this combination of software simply can't display UTF-8 mails properly, even if you tell IE to display the mail as UTF-8 explicitly (at least for some users, probably hanmail.net users). I haven't been able to identify why this is, as I don't have a Korean Win98 machine, nor the required knowledge of Korean, needed for testing. Note that in such situations, ASCII characters disply fine, whereas the utf-8 Korean characters are unreadable garbage. I suspect the fault lies at least partially with both Win98 and the web mailer software. -- Derek D.
