Yes, because it is not a MIME message.  MIME messages are build on top  
of base RFC 822 messages.  By default, RFC822 messages are always in  
the us-ascii character set.

Other than adding a MIME-Version header to every message, there is no  
way since parsing is entirely handled by c-client.  See
