Hi,
Advocacy aside, how do you propose to deal with UTF-8 characters which are not re-encodable in Windows-1252 (which is, after all, a "glorified" ISO-8859-1) in the example you posted above (comment #43)?
UTF-8 can represent a LOT more characters than Windows-
This will simply create new problems and will not solve the problems some of the people who are "subscribed" to this bug have...
If you do that kind of workaround you have to make it configurable...

PS: If you are aware of MUAs that can't deal with properly encoded headers/body, please submit them a bug report and POSSIBLY implement a workaround in the meantime...
