In my mind, the correct implementation should use Flexi stream to deal with different encodings for the content at least AFAIK, all cl-smtp(old, new, forked, etc) implementation do not handle encoding subject and content correctly(or hard to use).

I've been googling for something like this. Your timing is perfect. Thanks! I’ve been googling for something like this. Your timing is perfect.
