If you cat out a utf-8 file, does the terminal display the right thing?
If so, I would think that would work for Sup... at least under my

raw bytes which the terminal interprets.

And in fact it's actually only a problem in thread-index-mode when
someone's name is a rfc2047-encoded header. In every other case there's
no character alignment issue. :)
