Or content-type information which doesn't describe the charset(s) 
actually used. In my experience (I get to analyze those things when 
they arrive, and guess what happened at the sender) it happens when two 
pieces of software don't talk to each other enough. Consider typical 
webmail: A browser delivers the body text and some header fields, some 
advertising system delivers a spamfooter, and the webmail backend makes 
the rest of the header and glues it all together. Lots of opportunities 
for misunderstanding.

IMO a UTF8SMTP would make things worse, not better, since there would be 
one more thing to get wrong.
