Agreed.

Of course not; it doesn't identify itself as a MIME type in a different
character set -- it is merely some ASCII embedded in a normal message.
But you're right - even if it did, my mailer (pine) doesn't try to
display it on the VT100 emulator I use. And an ifax device would need
to understand all sorts of different character sets to interpret all
sorts of different headers.
The advantage of using computer-readable headers, of course, is allowing
for sorting, searching, and other computer-assisted operations. That
can only be done with image data using unreliable OCR.
