Hi Colin,

If you come up with a solution for this I'd love to know it. I came
across this same dilemma myself and decided to upgrade my server to
handle it because the project that will eventually use Petal::Mail will
be running on a fresh server.

However, I have not upgraded my production server yet which has several
projects that are still using Petal v1.06 (I've been wary of upgrading
to Petal 2.02 until I could figure out the issues with the nbsp entity;
I think I know how to handle it now and will probably be upgrading
soon).

At any rate, this is a good point. Perhaps Jean-Michel can provide some
insight. Perhaps P::M can use the same technique as Petal which only
requires Encode if Perl > 5.007 by using a BEGIN block. I'm just not
sure what it's providing.
