I think an excellent point is made here. The decision not to move
towards Unicode should not be based up the laziness of some users.
"Well, though I've made no efforts, it doesn't work for me so we should
leave things as is." No one wants that. Free solutions for a vast
majority of users will be possible, though, yes, it may take a little
bit of effort to learn what settings to use or use a different browser
or client.
However, there will be a minority whose workflow won't make this
possible. Older OSes. Bound to web email access, particularly with only
kiosk control over the choice of browser or the browser's settings.
These limitations will not be their fault. An assessment of just how
large a minority this is seems to be the real question.
My 2¢,
