I don't have a resistance to using 8bit, just that KMail came pre-configured to use QP and I'm happy with it. Plain 8bit is only a sensible choice from the point of view of people who insist on using tools that don't support it.
So we should abandon a huge collection of widely used and well-standardized tools just because you're too lazy to change a badly thought out default? Right...
Or, possibly it's because you're too lazy to upgrade to more modern tools that can handle it. It can be looked at both ways.
It's only badly thought out in your opinion. I happen to think it's a decent default for my needs, and I'm obviously not the only one since the KMail team also think so.
Besides, no-one's having problems with my e-mails except for Anthony. It's obvious its his mail client that's broken as evidenced by the fact that most on this list are seeing squares and/or backslashes for some of the (presumably extended character set) characters that he's using in his e-mails.
