Correct transmission of anything but ASCII require three header

 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Charset can also be ISO-8859-1 (which is the usual ISO-8859-*). It differs from -15 by not having a few French letters missing from -1 and having the fraction characters (1/4, 1/2, 3/4) that were removed in -15 to make room for the French Characters. -15 also officially contains the Euro Symbol [ยค] which is not in -1. Even better since it will show ALL Glyphs just use UTF-8.
