Totally off topic, but I find it amusing that the world's best email  
system uses HTML entities to encode characters embedded in text/plain,  
UTF-8, quoted-printable messages. Especially amusing since '  
represents (') which is not a magic character in HTML or XML anyway.

At least it tried to do the quoted-printable correctly :)
