There's human-composed, user-visible text in the message, which means that the CUA
needs to consider whether the user is going to be able to read the incoming
message.  An advanced CS might be capable of storing multiple versions of the text,
and picking out the one to send to the CUA--but only if it can find out what
languages the user can read, and what character sets the CUA can display.
