I don't understand this statement.  7-Bit and quoted-printable are just
encodings: they are ways of sending 8-bit (or more) data over a 7-bit
transport.  They have nothing to do with character set, which is an
entirely different MIME header.

Now, the fact that I send my e-mails as USASCII shows a certain national
arrogance on my part, but I should be able to send arbitrary
iso-8859-whatever characters as quoted-printable and have them displayed
without problem on your end.
