I mean most email clients send UTF-8 today, most websites are UTF-8 (all browsers support it), most APIs expect it as well. Yes, with the noticeable exception of PHP's string functions :-(
Non-UTF-8 charsets are really a pain to deal with. So why not just use this standard and document it like - "you will need to pass UTF-8 in". So is this a vote in favor of solution 1?Christian
