No, that used to be the case when e-mail message bodies used 7-bit ASCII 
or ECMA encoding, but now that UTF-8 is generally accepted in e-mail 
message bodies, 8 bit encoding is accepted, but only UTF-8 is near 
universal. 

There are some Apple mailing systems that insist on setting the encoding 
to MACINTOSH. Some mail handling libraries, JavaMail in combination with 
Mstor is one of them, spit at this. However, AFAICT MACINTOSH is just a 
synonym for UTF-8: changing it to UTF-8 makes the mail parsable by Mstor/
JavaMail and its still readable when displayed by my usual mailreader, 
Evolution.
