In the long run, UTF-8 is probably the only encoding which makes
sense. What else could you use to send multilingual email in a
standard way which everybody can read?

With UTF-8, you can easily mix many languages, for example

    Japanese (こんにちは)
    German (Grüß Gott)
    Czech (Dobrý den)
    Russian (Здравствуйте!)
    Korean (안녕하세요,안녕하십니까)
    simplified Chinese (你好)
    traditional Chinese (早晨)
    ...
