very bad. but i am not talking about such cases.

no.

and again, you are talking about emails with chinese. i have seen very
few, so few, that i can not even say that there has been any. :) but i
am aware that there have been several from asian countries, that have
been in english, in text/plain, and they apologize for their lacking in
use of english. [hell, i wish i new some of their languages as well as
they do english.]

i am talking about html's that are sent to tsl's, majority of which are
emails sent to this list, kde = 2nd, thunderbird = 3rd, firefox = 4th,
scientific = a small 5th.
