That's true. At least most of the time. In Greek-speaking user groups and mailing lists, it's also common to see messages which contain ISO 8859-7 text, but have their 'charset=' set to ISO 8859-1. Most of the 'old timers' complain loudly for a while, the user fixes his mailer, and then a few weeks pass until the next newcomers hits the list with another misconfigured web-based mail UI, or a misconfigured MUA. Oh well... :-)
