See again the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" stuff Phil's been telling
you about. The Norwegian (or whatever) 8-bit characters are converted
to a sequence of 7-bit characters. Then they are sent over the wire
to the other server. Then the recipient converts the sequence of
7-bit characters back to 8-bit characters. Then the recipient decides
what glyph to put on your screen accoring to the charset specified in
the Content-Type: header.
