Sorry about that.  Of course, I didn't want to send this message.
It's strange that it went out because I killed the buffer which
contained it, at least I think so, and no Cc was placed in my outgoing
mail archive. *sigh*

Deprecated, I think.  For example, SAFT uses it, and some mail user
agents do as well.  By encoding UTF-16, UTF-7 can even handle the full
character range, however this double encoding seems hackish to me.
