dbmail-pgsql has never been supported on charsets other than sql_ascii.
Fixing this properly for all the caching tables will take more than just
a change of the schema. Releasing 2.2 will not be delayed until then.

Fixing this on the trunk will be a priority goal. Doing it on the trunk
will give us a proper timeframe for impact assessment and testing. If it
turns out to be a limited change, it will be merged into the stable 2.2
tree.

I'm sorry I can't offer you more than that. Delaying 2.2 is not an
option, and the 2.2 branch is in deep freeze at the moment.
