That doesn't make it a good idea. :-)

The problem here isn't the character set conversion, but decoding from
quoted-printable (in this case, or whatever encoding is used in general).

The goal is, and has always been, to save the message in a format that can
be searched easily at a later date.

Anything that interferes with that unnecessarily is perverse, at least in
my opinion. :-/
