Email is absolutely horrible. Email is where I started to appreciate statistical analysis for charset detection. Email starts with 7-bit characters and rapidly goes downhill from there.
Email is also where I started to dislike UNIX devs who think that \n is a proper line ending on networked systems. "\r\n" is not the Windows way, it's the network way.
When dealing with email you eventually learn to completely disregard the specs and do whatever works which further screws up the ecosystem for everyone else.
