   Actually claws default charset is 'auto' which it uses ascii unless it   
   needs something else, which alternately could be utf-8 but utf-8 won't   
   do an em-dash w/o 'extras' so it uses q-p.   
      
   In another group, there was a discussion in which a Tb user found   
   himself 'unexpectedly' posting in b64, so the different agents have   
   their own 'fall-back' strategies for dealing w/ 'characters'.   
      
   The wp article 'debates' the choices of b64 vs qp.
