You are using the correct charset for your language and whoever sets
 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' is doing the right thing
but
the latter should NOT happen because most international email contains
characters which require the servers to pass it 8-bit clean to avoid
trouble even if this bends the email specs a little). Anyway it is not in
your hands, the only way out would be to make sure that the server you
send the mail to runs a Unix or VMS SMTP daemon as these are less likely
to put the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' on the message
(they are usually configured to pass 8 bits email also for traffic size
reasons - quoted printable requires more bytes to be sent if the message
contains mostly quoted characters).
