You're just plain wrong here. These people usually have a newsreader
that can:

* show a *single* unencoded 8bit charset
* decode RFC 2047

They will:

* not notice a RFC 2047 posting at all.
* be unable to either:
  . read *raw* untagged UTF-8, or
  . read messages in the *single* unencoded 8bit charset.
  (except by finding the charset setting of their newsreader and chaning
  it on a per-message basis if that is possible).

In other words: If you send raw UTF-8 - blessed by a standard or not -,
you will be flamed.
