It's not just this IETF mailing list.

Rejecting mail by the mailing list system with these Content-Type
values in the headers would go a long way to fixing the problem:

    Content-Type: text/html; charset="ks_c_5601-1987"
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=KS_C_5601-1987
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=euc-kr
    Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-2022-KR"

Regardless of other considerations, mail encoded in those character
sets does not belong in mailing lists intended for international
audiences.
