Ummmm, could be just a bit of an overstatement here, Rajko :-) . 
Thunderbird, which is now at version 10, gives one the choice of using 
any number of character sets, including ISO 8859-1 - and I don't think 
that you could argue that Thunderbird is not "well designed" :-) .

Is it really the default? I didn't know.

There are at least 2 people posting here - and one of them I believe is 
an openSUSE employee using their internal mail system :-) - who don't 
use UTF-8.

With this I agree.
