How well is UTF-8 supported in various email clients?
I know it was somewhat of a problem five or so years ago — but is it still something we should worry over?
I am wondering if I should re-encode strings to some other encoding before sending. For example, Russian text would be stored as UTF-8 but when sending email notifications, I could just re-encode it on-the-fly as ISO-8859-5.
