As a complement to your thorough paper, here are a few remarks.
- the original post on this topic was about Subjects in mails. RFC
1342 defines how to transmit "high"-ASCII characters in Subjects
despite the fact that RFC 822 specifies that the headers should be
pure [7 bit-]ASCII. However RFC 1342 doesn't tell us about Unicode.
At first sight, the ellipsis in the culprit Subject was pasted as
UTF-16, and that might simply be labelled a bug of Mail - at least
a bad taste option: UTF-8 would make weird results less often.
- Smile has the Unicode character and Unicode number commands
(working on whole strings, by the way), which support the 2
encodings, and Smile has Unicode windows, so you can visualize the
characters you're working on.
- Making a list of strings into one string when non-ASCII
characters are present in the list and/or in the text item
delimiters is broken. Proobably we can expect it be fixed in the
next big cat. In the meanwhile you can use Smile's
"coerceAsUnicodeText" command, which does that (and a bit more.) If
the latest public version does not include the command, ask me
privately for the latest beta.

Hello Emmanuel.
Just for see, using Mail.app, I set the encoding to UTF 8 and add an
ellipsis in the Subject header.
How will be treated, I don't know (as I don't know why the MacRoman
encoding is always greyed).
