(Get the code!)
I generally agree with the approach taken here. But I want to discuss the following problem and see if we can accomodate it.
I am a German national that frequently writes mails to Japanese users. For some very strange reasons, the adoption of UTF-8 in Japan is still lacking to say the least. This patch will lead to a lot of mails that are unreadable on the other end. Not because the mail is incorrect, but because the recipient's software does not understand UTF-8. A lot of times this will be out of the recipient's control. Many Japanese receive mails on their mobile phone.
Can we maybe have a configurable list of encodings (try iso-8859-15 first, then iso-2022-jp, then default to utf-8)? any possible other ways to solve this?
