Gibberish?  It depends on the character-set.  You'd probably end up
excluding anything that wasn't in a list of specified character-sets.  
And even then some people would still get gibberish because their MUA
limits them to one or two char sets.

This particular mail is readable in the "Unicode (UTF-8)" char set in
Netscape Communicator.

Rgds,
