Well, partly. It will, in fact, let me configure it the way, that it
solves my issue.

However, It does not fix the issue itself as it does not ensure that the
output in mail is that charset. As I mentioned before, this is exactly
the issue. The mail could be easily in UTF-8. But then there has to be
logic to keep sure that the mail is in that charset. Without, you could
still end with logical incorrect mails that are (partly) in different
charsets that is illegal for UTF-8.

No objection about that. But you cannot be sure that log stuff is in the
same charset.

Patches looks good for me for fixing the bug partly. Nevertheless I
would expect some use of iconv for really ensure the choosed charset.
Maybe even encguess can come to use for guessing the input.
