The sender (mail client). If text contains non-ASCII then the
client must specify
Either:
MIME-Version: 1.0 header
8BITMIME option in the MAIL FROM command
content-type (including charset) header
content-transfer-encoding: 8bit header
Or:
MIME-Version: 1.0 header
content-type (including charset) header
content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable or base64 header

The receiver needs to know the charset and encoding.
