Maybe in general, but definitely not in a mail program. For example,
in Japan the standard mail encodings are ISO-2022-JP and UTF-8, but
most OSes (except Linux) have the locale ja_JP.eucJP or (implicitly)
ja_JP.shift_jis. The mail program should be dealing with this
explicitly. Fix your mail program.
