Before moving to Mac, and before UTF-8 was widely used, I was
using a Debian machine with Mutt. So I had a setting for French
mails, and another setting for Japanese mails, English mails
were handled in either setting. I had fetchmail to get my pop
mail and procmail for the filtering. It was a bit complex but I
managed. That was 20 years ago. I hope things have evolved since
then :)
It should definitely be possible to handle mail in different
languages in the same environment nowadays. :-)
What I need though beyond a retrieval/display/sending system, is
a way to access the selected mail from the OS side. I have a
workflow that involves getting the selected mail, saving it
separately and its attachments too, marking it with a given tag
etc.
In the Emacs based system, I'd need to have a variable that
points at that file, maybe a variable that points at its
attachments, a way to "tag" the mail (I have half a dozen
different tags), and I guess that's it for now...
I can't tell whether that work flow can be copied directly into
Emacs, but it sounds like you might benefit from integrating your
mail with Org. Mu4e allows you to create Org links to specific
messages, which you can then use in capture templates or insert
directly into an Org buffer. I suspect similar functionality
exists for Gnus.
IIUC both mu4e and notmuch also support `X-Label:' headers, which
you may be able to use for tagging. I don't know the details
though, so you'd have to Google that a bit. But if you integrate
Org into your mail work flow, you may be able to forego saving and
tagging email, and just do all the tagging in your Org file.
