Actually, we send messages in UTF-8, a charset that encodes Unicode and hence can represent pretty much every character in every language. Switching to a smaller charset (e.g. iso-8859-1) will actually make the system less portable, not more. Modern MUAs don't have any problem with UTF-8, but according to the up-thread posters there are enough old mailers that sysadmins may need to use a small, local charset to make certain users happy.
