Actually that was the first think I asked for after installing the
evolution :-). I said: using UTF-8 as the base mail encoding is cool but
in fact most of my mails come in w/ KOI8-R (Cyrillic, the first
de-facto standard for the Net in the ex-USSR) encoding, some - w/
MICROSOFT-CP1251 (another Cyrillic, MS invention :-)) and few broken
have ISO8859-1 (in fact most of them are CP1251 :-)). I asked about
ability to change/set character set of the message but got an answer:
we're planning that feature in future releases.
That's why I wrote this mail from within Mozilla Mail (that in fact
seems to be the best X Window mail agent when we talk about locale support).

Probably the most proper way is to use some autoguessing (based on
several things like message specified charset, default charset for the
mailbox, frequency analysis etc) plus ability to change things manually.

Sure.

This would be fine but I'd consider this as 'not-a-must' feature...
