I agree. Nevertheless, I also make up about 0.01% of the users with
Unicode capable mailers. I have not verified that, but I get
unlimited number of complaints from Windows users about them not
being able to see anything but boxes for my special characters.
Thus, I would like to use unicode only when really necessary.

True. So now I changed it to use UTF-8 for everything but my
business mail. I just don't feel like advocacy with clients...

Good point.

Would you please consider taking this link out of your email?
I don't want to bother the list with a discussion, so if you want to
reply, do so in private. However, the information on the site you
are linking to is so unbelieveable biased that I find it a sin to
support it. No, I don't think Palestina is innocent and Israel is
the bad player. But it's certainly not the other way around either.
